High-quality line-up for Monument Sevens
Monument hosts a smaller but high-quality High School Sevens Series, proudly sponsored by Toyota, event on Saturday in Krugersdorp.
The u17 and u15 competitions feature only 10 teams each, but there are some established rugby powers among them.
Monument, the hosts, are among the potential title contenders, as is Helpmekaar, who made the Cup semi-finals of the Heidelberg Sevens this past weekend.
Jeppe, who it should be remembered beat Monnas at Monument when the teams met in the 15-man game this season, will be a team to keep an eye on.
Noordheuwel has an Invitation side in action, so they’re a bit of an unknown.
Dinamika narrowly lost 17-19 to the eventual runners-up, Noordheuwel, in the playoffs at the Heidelberg Sevens, and beat Helpmekaar 26-24, so they should not be underestimated.
Noordheuwel has two teams in the u15 competition and their A side cruised to the u15 title in Heidelberg. Their Krugersdorp rivals, Monument, would love nothing more than to prevent Noordheuwel from making it two in a row.
Marais Viljoen, the winners of the Pionier Sevens title, finished as the runners-up in the Plate in Heidelberg. Dinamika, again, could play the role of spoiler, and the Garsfontein Invitation side is another team that could pull off an upset or two.
