WATCH: Huge schoolboy tackle goes viral

BY Philip Bendon  ·  Monday May 20, 2024

South African schoolboy rugby is renowned for its ultra-competitive nature, with some of the greatest players in the game’s history cutting their teeth at SA school festivals over the years.

Continuing this rich tradition, several major players such as FNB (First National Bank) and SuperSport have become key players in financing and promoting the top rivalry matches in South African Rugby.

WATCH: South African Schools Rugby Is On Fire

With so much attention on this level of the game, it is unsurprising that several brilliant social media channels have forged a niche for creating content from this level of the game.

One such channel, Schoolboyrugby0, has some cracking content on their page with videos into millions in terms of views.

Recently posting a video of big-time tackle with the simple caption ‘Rugby or WWE’ the page showed just how intense the fixtures are in South African schools rugby.

Taking a simple pop pass a scrumhalf gets absolutely thumped and carried backwards in a way unlike any we have seen since George North took Israel Folau for a stroll in 2013!

Top work to the defender!
