Yanos Molnar put Stellenberg on his back and refused to let go. The Stellenberg captain and No.8 crossed three times in a dominant 42-12 victory over Durbanville at Jade Park on Saturday, delivering one of the more commanding individual performances in Western Cape schools rugby this season.
Molnar Responds as Stellenberg Dominates
Durbanville made a bright start. Their own captain, Muller Jansen van Vuuren, crossed early and the home side looked capable of causing an upset. Molnar had other ideas. He responded to cancel out that lead, and from the moment Stellenberg hit the front, there was no route back for Durbanville. The final 30-point margin told the full story of Stellenberg's control in the second half.
Elsewhere in the Western Cape, Paarl Gimnasium extended their winning run to 15 matches with a 25-11 defeat of Paarl Boys at Faure Street Stadium in front of a 25,000-strong crowd — a derby crowd that confirms just how seriously the Cape takes its schools rugby. Wynberg were ruthless against Bishops, winning 64-12, while Paul Roos hammered Boland Landbou 45-14 and Rondebosch edged SACS 36-30 in a tight one.
