At D.F. Malherbe High School, rugby isn’t just a sport; it’s a legacy of passion, discipline, and the unmistakable rhythm of the South African anthem, “Impi.” As the first team charges onto the field to the powerful beat of this iconic song, they carry with them a tradition that embodies the essence of our school spirit.

Our juniors, donned in distinctive navy and white hoops, represent the roots of our rugby program. Meanwhile, the first team proudly sports a sponsored kit, predominantly white with elegant gold, navy, and ocean blue trim – a visual testament to our commitment to style and substance.

But it’s not just about the aesthetics; it’s about growth and development. We are thrilled to announce our expansion to eight teams across all age groups, a testament to the flourishing rugby culture at D.F. Malherbe. The field isn’t just a battleground; it’s a canvas where future rugby stars are shaped.

Annually, our school engages in junior rugby clinics, nurturing young talent and imparting the values that make our rugby program exceptional. We are not confined to our school grounds; you’ll find us making waves at renowned festivals like the Despatch Sports Festival, Gill College Sports Festival and Andrew Rabie Sports Festival. These events are not just competitions; they’re celebrations of camaraderie and sportsmanship.

March holds a special place in our rugby calendar as the first team embarks on an annual tour, creating memories that last a lifetime. We believe in not only playing the game but understanding it intricately. That is why we employ coaches with unparalleled expertise to ensure that every player becomes the best version of themselves.

For parents seeking a school where values, discipline and a passion for rugby converge, D.F. Malherbe High School stands as a beacon. For learners yearning to be part of a legacy and don the revered jersey, our rugby program beckons. Join us, where the spirit of rugby is not just a tradition; it’s a way of life.
