Rugby has been slowly gaining popularity at Germiston High School since it was reintroduced in 2016.<\/p>\n
Recently the school\u2019s u-15 and u-16 rugby teams faced visiting Dromore High, from Northern Ireland.<\/p>
The matches were played during Dromore\u2019s tour to South Africa.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are delighted to have this opportunity,\u201d said tour manager Gareth Bronte.<\/p>
\u201cI had travelled to South Africa before, with another school, and knew I\u2019d like to come back.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the first international tour for our teams.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked how the school had decided on Germiston High as their first opponents of the tour, Bronte explained, \u201cOur travel agent actually found them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are so grateful for all the school has done to make us feel welcome and if we can breathe some life into the school\u2019s love of rugby that would be amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Principal Ren\u00e9e Goosen shared the school\u2019s excitement.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled to have them visit us,\u201d said Goosen.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt really is a wonderful opportunity, experience and celebration of diversity.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe would love to host more international visitors in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
First to take to the field, to a roar from the supporters, were the u-15 teams.<\/p>\n
