WP dominate SA Schools

Twelve players from the Western Province U18 Craven Week side have been included in the SA Schools squad.

WP thrashed EP 95-0 in the unofficial final at Craven Week.

The remainder of the 26-man squad is made up of players from the Blue Bulls, Golden Lions, Eastern Province, SWD, the Valke and Griquas CD.

EP flyhalf Curwin Bosch, who was named the Craven Week Player of the Year in 2014, was one of four players who retained their places in the squad, with the others being Blue Bulls scrumhalf Embrose Papier wing Andell Loubser and Griquas CD looseforward Cobus Wiese.

The SA Schools squad will face Wales on 7 August in Stellenbosch, France on 11 August at Outeniqua Park in George and England on 15 August at City Park Stadium in Cape Town.

The 26-man SA Schools A squad, meanwhile, will take on Italy in Stellenbosch, England in George and Wales in Cape Town in their clashes, which will serve as curtain-raisers to the SA Schools matches.
