The home of SA schools rugby

South African schools rugby is unlike anything else in the game. Every winter the provincial unions send their best schoolboys and schoolgirls to the FNB Youth Weeks, and for a week the country’s finest young players pull on the green-and-gold of their province. It is the oldest and richest talent pipeline in world rugby — a huge share of every Springbok squad first caught the eye at Craven Week.

We pull the fixtures and results straight from the SA Rugby match centre as each week is seeded, so you can follow every day of every week in one place — and dive into the dedicated hub for each tournament for dates, venues, teams and how to watch.
