The two standout rugby schools in South Africa in 2025 - Paarl Gimnasium and Paarl Boys' High - will clash in early August.

Born Jakobus Johannes Wiese on 16 May 1964 in Paarl, Wiese matriculated at Paarl Gimnasium and went on to study teaching at Paarl Onderwys, later obtaining his diploma from Goudstad.

*It’s a pointless exercise debating whether Paarl Gimnasium should be No 1 or whether in fact Paarl Boys’ High boast a stronger case for top spot.

Only a limited number of schoolboy rugby fixtures took place at the weekend, but there were good wins for Paarl Gimnasium and St Stithians.
