Paarl Boys’ High School has a proud rugby tradition. Over the years the name Boishaai has become synonymous with rugby and Paarl Boys’ High school is rightfully considered to be one of the major rugby schools in South Africa. The school has produced twenty-one Springboks, of whom Thomas du Toit is the most recent member. These legends include names such as Boy and Fanie Louw, Ryk van Schoor, Mannetjies Roux, Carel du Plessis, Corné Krige (also as captain) and Gurthrö Steenkamp.
Paarl Boys’ High School was not only recognized as the no 1 ranked rugby school in South Africa 2012, 2015, 2016, and 2017, and the first team was also unbeaten 2015 to 2017.
