Rob Ferreira High School in White River will play host to   two of the most anticipated Youth Weeks on the SA Rugby calendar for the next   week when 38 teams will take to the field in the U13 SA Rugby Craven Week and   U16 SA Rugby Grant Khomo Week.  

 

The 14 provincial unions will each have a team in the U13   Craven Week, with Limpopo Blue Bulls and Border Country Districts added in   addition to the national teams from Namibia and Zimbabwe to make up an   18-team playing schedule. Teams will play matches on Monday, Tuesday,   Thursday and Friday.   

 

The U16 Grant Khomo Week will see the same teams in action   - with a Pumas XV and SA Iqhawe Impi being added to round the number of teams   out to 20. They will play matches on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

 

The appearance of the Iqhawe Impi team is an historic   first as they play in their first Craven Week. The team is made of players   selected from the Carfind.co.za Iqhawe Week for non-traditional rugby   schools. 

 The Carfind.co.za Iqhawe Week for Under-15 boys has   established itself as one of the top development competitions over the past   six years, and their inclusion in the tournament will serve as a huge boost   for the players and for transformation in South African rugby.

 

The two tournaments in White River follow a successful   hosting of three Youth Weeks last week.  

The Learners with Special Education Needs (LSEN) Week was   completed in Bloemfontein, while the SA Rugby Under-16 and SA Rugby Under-18   Girls Weeks were hosted at Jeppe High School in Johannesburg.

 

Hosts Phakisa Pumas will play the main match in both the   Under-13 Craven Week, where they will face Thepa Trading Griffons, and in the   Under-16 Grant Khomo Week, where they front up to Limpopo Blue Bulls.
