RUGBY
Junior Rugby
Senior Rugby
Despite having only 350 boys in the senior school, rugby has remained a very popular sport at Graeme College and there are six open sides. Graeme has produced some outstanding rugby sides which have done their school proud at the various Gauteng Easter rugby festivals.
A committed, energetic and knowledgeable rugby coaching staff ensure that the high standards that Graeme has set on the rugby field continued to be maintained. Nine teams can be fielded on a day. The junior teams continue to attract enthusiastic spectators and these teams are full of characters and spirit.
One of the first documented schoolboy matches played in South Africa took place between Graeme College and St Andrew's College in 1878 and the rivalry continues to this day. Other time-honoured fixtures include those against Grey High, Selborne College and Kingswood College. Prominent old boys who have represented the school on the professional sports field include Daniel (Cheeky) Watson and World Cup winner Hennie le Roux. Interestingly, both headmaster Peter Reed and deputy-head and 1st XV coach, Brendan Grant, previously coached the Selborne College and Grey High School 1st XV's.
