Traditional rugby powerhouse St George’s College who are affectionally known as the dragons left today for a week-long rugby tour in the Eastern Cape, South Africa.
The Dragons will take part in the Kingswood 125th Jubilee Rugby festival which runs from 6 April to 10 April.
St Georges will be using this festival as a dress rehearsal of the upcoming school’s rugby season where they hope to better than last year.
Zimbuzz Sports managed to catch up with their head coach Brendon Brider before departure and had this to say “ I mainly looking forward to knowing my players better and what they capable of doing on this tour.
Also to look the little we’ve worked on in terms of practice, we also will evaluate our systems and see what needs to change leading into the season” he said.
The Dragons tour opener is on Saturday at 2 pm in the afternoon against Hilton college from who
St George’s second match is pencilled Monday 8 April against Eastern cape giants Graeme College who play a similar brand of rugby as St Georges college and is poised to be an intriguing encounter. Especially the battle between the two backlines who have massive pace.
The Dragons wrap up their tour with a date with Clifton from Durban and on paper, this looks like the easier fixture of the entire trip. It’s a clash that could go either way on the day.
