4th XV (Wild Boys)<br />
By Zukile Ncube<br />
THE <strong>2018</strong> RUGBY SEASON for the Wild Boys will<br />
definitely be one to remember, not only for our results,<br />
but also the character, attitude and camaraderie<br />
displayed by the team.<br />
At the beginning of the season our challenge was<br />
not to let the off-field hype get the better of us, but<br />
rather to use it help us perform on the field. The boys<br />
worked very hard to ensure this and the development<br />
throughout the season showed.<br />
One of the highlights of the season was beating Paul<br />
Roos after going two tries down. We would have liked<br />
to claim a victory or two down the N1 but it was not to<br />
be, going down to both Paarl Boys and Gym and we will<br />
wonder what could have been…! However, we can hold<br />
our heads high with our efforts.<br />
A special mention and thanks to our Matrics Junho<br />
Ko, Connor Price, Hector Orrell and captain, Matteo<br />
Lupini for showing great leadership and courageous<br />
efforts in a young team.<br />
I’m sure that the Grade 11s, if they continue to apply<br />
the same attitude, will go on to do great things next<br />
year. A special mention, too, to our vice-captain, Brett<br />
Tucker, for being the constant feature in the backs and<br />
giving us direction.<br />
For the rest of the team who still have another year<br />
or more I look forward to seeing you progress with lots<br />
of self-belief, discipline and hard work. I take my hat off<br />
to the boys, my fellow coach, Christian Stehlik, and<br />
parents for the unwavering support I have received this<br />
year – many thanks!<br />
