Bishops Diocesan College will play host to Rondebosch Boys High on Saturday, in one of the most anticipated interschool derbies on the South African rugby calendar.
With both schools situated in the suburb of Rondebosch a matter of 400 metres apart and facing each other annually on a home and away basis on the rugby field, with only bragging rights at stake.
This will be the 196th time that these two schools meet with the first having been played in 1911.
The first match between the two schools saw Bishops run rampant on the day, winning the encounter 112-0 with Painton Cowen scoring 86 points in the match.
Bishops have older rivalries against SACS, St Andrew’s College and Paul Roos but these games cannot compare with the rivalry that has developed with Rondebosch Boys High.
