These are the players to watch out for during the Craven Week in Bloemfontein
There is still a lot to play for during next week’s annual Craven Week tournament in Bloemfontein. There will be two teams chosen by the South African Schools’ selectors.
Two teams, SA Schools and SA Schools A, consisting of a group of 28 players each will play in an international series which includes the England, France, Wales and Argentina’s age group sides.
