Ek was op Grey

[r00igev@@r]

In the wild world of school rugby, Grey College just refuses to play by the ordinary rules. Take their 2023 First XV, for instance, the 29th unbeaten squad they’ve churned out since 1930. It’s like they have a secret manual on ‘How to Win at Rugby’ tucked away somewhere.

Here’s the kicker: these lads faced off against the big shots, the tough cookies, and the ‘you-think-you-can-beat-us’ teams from all over the country. Guess what? They laughed in the face of defeat in all 15 matches. Their average score line of 39-15 per game might as well be a running joke among their rivals. And get this, only 4 of these showdowns were on their home turf, as if traveling to matches was just another excuse for a road trip. Grey College end the season as the No.1 Ranked School Rugby Team in the country!

Here’s a fun fact for your next trivia night: from 1855 to 2023, Grey College’s First XV played 1624 matches and lost only 155. That’s a jaw-dropping 91% win ratio over a century and a half! So, kudos to Grey College, where rugby isn’t just a game; it’s an art form, a science, and maybe even a bit of magic…

Our u17 high school hockey team was beaten by Grey primary's top team. That was the day I quit.

Way too true.

I was at Union High up the road from you. I remember Grey always kicking our asses in rugby. And we were pretty damn good. Paul Roos has produced the most Springbok players, 54 compared to 46 from Grey

This is the standard kak response from a grumpy old-Grey pupil that doesnt have a tiny bit sense a humour for an innocent tongue-in-cheek joke

You right.
We don't take jokes.

Look at the scoreboard.

Is that a fvcking prop!?

I was in Helderberg ... just diagonally across from Paul Roos ... over the Eersterivier.

That's the closest I've been to greatness.

And my mother once dated a guy that went to Grey, before she met my father that went to Hoërskool Namakwaland.

Jirre, jy klink nou soos my swaer, ek was op Grey.
