Twelve of the top rugby High Schools in the Western Cape will get the opportunity to showcase their skills on the DHL Newlands pitch on Tuesday.

The much-anticipated annual event serves as the starting point for the High School rugby season, giving 1st XV players the chance to show what they can do on the same turf as their heroes.

There will be six matches in total, which will be played in two 20-minute halves each, with no kicking for poles allowed in an attempt to encourage attacking rugby.

Each school will also be paired with a DHL Stormers player who will sit with the team during their match to serve as further inspiration.

The first match kicks off at 15.00, with prize-giving taking place directly after the final match at 19.30.
