Paul Roos to build on their record against Grey High at Markötter
Paul Roos Gimnasium will look to continue its winning record since 2018 against Grey High School when it faces off on Saturday at the Markötter Stadium in Stellenbosch.
The last time the team from Gqeberha managed to defeat Paul Roos on their home turf was back in 2014 when Springbok Curwin Bosch slotted a last-minute penalty to secure a 27-26 victory.
This year’s match is part of the King Price Derby Series.

Paul Roos Gimnasium is still unbeaten this season after victories against HTS Drostdy (25-17), Garsfontein (34-22) and Noordheuwel (26-19) to start the season off. It was especially the trusty boot of flyhalf, Travis Pheiffer, who made a difference in the victories against Garsies and Nories during the NMI Toyota Noord/Suid tournament.
Pheiffer will know his opposition well as he attended Grey High School before moving to Paul Roos. He also represented Eastern Province at the Grant Khomo Week in 2023. Another solid performance for Pheiffer will give his coach Corné Uys will have a good problem once Matthew Seymore returns from his injury.
The home side has a dangerous backline with the back-three of Keenan Stoffels, Tiaan Basson and Jordan Steenkamp, who has the ability to take most defenses apart.
Grey High School is also still unbeaten, with victories over Hudson Park (45-34) and Hilton College (20-7). They also drew 28-all against Michaelhouse during the opening day of the Standard Bank Grey High Festival.
