Entertaining clashes on the menu at Saints Easter Rugby Festival
The 2026 Saints Easter Rugby Festival hosts 16 teams and features 19 fixtures across three days of play: Thursday, 2 April; Saturday, 4 April; and Monday, 6 April.
There are plenty of tantalising clashes on the fixture list, including St Stithians against St John’s College from Harare on the opening day.
A humdinger is lined up to end the day’s action with Hoërskool Garsfontein – fresh off a win over Paarl Boys’ High and another over Stellenberg High, the conquerors of Grey College and Paarl Gimnasium – taking on Wynberg Boys’ High.

Day two will once again see Garsies tested; this time by Hartpury College from Gloucestershire, England. Recent graduates of the school include England prop Ellis Genge and Wales wing Louis Rees-Zammit.
Straight after that clash, Hoërskool Pietersburg tackles Hoërskool Middelburg in a clash featuring one of Limpopo’s best against one of Mpumalanga’s leading lights.
On Monday, day three, expect all-out running rugby when international visitors, Windhoek High go up against the Mzwandile Mali XV.
Saints will also wrap up their fixtures with a tester against the talent-laden Wynberg Boys’ High outfit.
