St John’s College is proud to present the 28th St John’s College Easter Rugby Festival, brought to you by Standard Bank, on 17, 19, and 21 April 2025—a celebration of the best in schoolboy rugby.
PLEASE NOTE: For your safety and convenience, the St John’s College Easter Rugby Festival is a cashless event making use of SnapScan and all Debit and Credit cards. No cash will be accepted.
There are no league tables, trophies, or medals at the Easter Rugby Festival—it is all about the love of rugby, school spirit, and community. St John’s College welcomes visitors from far and wide, and this year will be no different as we have a phenomenal lineup of College and Prep schools participating.
This year introduces an exciting new twist to the traditional U19 and U13 lineup, with Monday dedicated to the U13s and the up-and-coming U16 teams.
The Easter Rugby Festival is a wonderful day out for the whole family, with the St John’s Pre-Prep Tea Garden, food trucks, and Beer Village available for your enjoyment.
The VIP Viewing Deck, overlooking Burger Field, will bring you closer to the game than ever. This perfectly appointed, luxuriously furnished, terraced deck offers excellent rugby viewing, serviced lounge areas with a full bar, a gourmet food station and private bathrooms
And, of course, we will showcase the best schoolboy rugby on Burger and C Rugby Fields.
All games from Burger Field and C Rugby Field will be live-streamed via the SuperSport Schools app for family and friends far and wide.
