St Johns College’s 20th rugby festival kicks off
JOBURG - St John's College, in proud association with Standard Bank, will host their 20th Easter Rugby Festival which kicks off on 2 April, continuing on the 4 and 6 April.
“Bigger and better than before, the festival will see 12 top schoolboy rugby sides playing first-class rugby in front of a crowd at a high profile event,” explained St John’s College’s media liaison, Cailin Wandrag.

“The festival will boast fun and entertainment for the whole family, young and old,” Wandrag said.
“We expect in the region of 20 000 people over the weekend including our pupils, parents, old boys, old parents, participating school communities and our broader community,” Wandrag said.
