The middle of May isn't just the peak of schoolboy rugby mayhem but also trial time for other provinces as the youth weeks draw ever so near.
For example, Grey College, who are heading from South Africa's judicial capital to the administrative capital for their clash against Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool (Affies), aren't going to play rugby after next week's home clash against Monument as they prepare to engage in exams and provincial trials.
The Eastern Province region will be out of action this weekend, too, as Meyer Sauerman weekend takes over from a trial perspective.
