Rugby-loving fans around the globe will not miss a moment of the inaugural Oakland World Schools Rugby Festival from 2 to 7 April 2018 in Paarl, as all 20 games will be live-streamed for free on www.netwerk24.com.

The tournament will see some of the most promising schoolboy talents on display which will include South African teams such as Affies, Boland Landbou, Glenwood, Monument, Grey College, Outeniqua, Oakdale, Paarl Gim, Paarl Boys’ High and Hilton College.

Ten teams from five continents with sides from New Zealand, England, Italy, the United States, Australia, Namibia and Argentina will make up the international contingent.

Unión Argentina de Rugby.

The festival consists of four match days with mouth-watering encounters scheduled for each day on Tuesday (April 2), Wednesday (April 3), Friday (April 6) and on Saturday (April 7).

The recent announcement of title sponsor Oakland Daries will see the launch of the Oakland Cup, a Ryder Cup-style contest between South Africa and the Rest of the World. The format ensures that each match counts, where two points will count towards a win and a draw is worth one point. The collated points will determine the winner of the Oakland Cup which will add an extra incentive when the South African sides take on teams from abroad.

Forming part of Paarl Boys’ High School’s 150-year celebrations the festival will also provide entertainment from some of South Africa’s top bands performing each evening.

The last day of the World Schools Festival will come to an emphatic end when the SA Legends and the Boishaai Legends teams cross swords on Saturday, April 7 featuring former Springbok and provincial legends.

The Oakland World Schools Festival embodies the spirit of rugby and traditional values and is the best global gathering of schoolboy talent.
