Rugby takes precedence at the Academy Week in Wellington

The annual Academy Week (for u18 players) will kick off in Wellington in the Boland today after an absence of two years due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Hugenote will be playing hosts with Boland facing Eastern Province in the main match of the opening day. The main game on the Macrone-field between Free State and South Western Districts could produce the day’s highlight.

Expect Western Province to be too strong for the Limpopo Blue Bulls on the main field (Murray-field).
