The Springbok starting XV to face the All Blacks at FNB Stadium is drawn from 15 different schools around the country.
The statistic was spotted by X user James Styan, who wrote: “Isn’t that a fascinating stat? Only player from a Paarl/Stellenbosch school in the run on 15 is Kurt-Lee Arendse.”
It shows that you don’t have to attend a top-ranked South African rugby school to reach the highest level.
