[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 153256"] Well RC, I can`t speak for the Aussies or NZ`ers, but in SA, it actually doesn`t require SARU to put any money into schoolboy rugby, directly at the grassroots level at least. We`ve got these massive high school derbies, and everybody has their rivals. For example, my old high school, Framesby High, has 2 massive derbies each year, against Andrew Rabie and Grey High. I`ve finished high school 13 years ago, and haven`t lived in my old home town of Port Elizabeth for 3 years now, but I haven`t missed a single Framesby/Rabie derby yet. Yup, I load up the wife and kids, and make the annual pilgrimage for every one. Helps of course that the wife`s a Rabie old girl.... From what I`ve heard Prestwick say on a different thread a while back, it seems like rugby isn`t played at school level in England, except in the (public :huh: )private schools over there. How is the situation in Wales? In a country as passionate about rugby as you guys are, is rugby played in the government schools? [/QUOTE]
