[QUOTE="saulan, post: 786572, member: 60236"] Maybe I'm thinking of the private schools then? I'm referring to schools like St Johns, St Sthithians, St Albans... essentially all those Saint schools. I know a boy currently in grade 8 at St Johns and last year for their rugby season they played for a month instead of the traditional 6 months down in the WC. I probably had a fair amount of the information wrong. Do you know more about the private schools? I assume schools like Waterkloof follow what you described. In the Cape it was start at the age of 6. There were scrums and lineouts, but there were no loose forwards and no fullback. From age 8 you go to full contact, full field, full team with boots. Some of the Paarl and winelands schools also stuck to the no boots until grade 8 though. [/QUOTE]
