Saturday sees a pretty reduced day of schools rugby as attention begins to really turn towards sevens, unusual as it may seem given the snow.

That snow could well see the fixture list further reduced, but as things stand there are still some very exciting fixtures.

Warwick v Sir Thomas Rich’s stands out as a top quality fixture, while Dartford Grammar School v Chislehurst & Sidcup Grammar School looks set to be a battle between two highly in form teams.

NatWest Cup quarter finalists Wilmslow High School and Lymm High School are both in action, Wilmslow playing Audenshaw and Lymm playing Altrincham.

Worth travel to Bede’s while Bishop Vesey’s travel along the road to Shrewsbury.

NatWest Vase quarter finalists Welbeck will travel to Mount St Mary’s in hope of victory, while two close clashes look se to be Old Swinford Hosptial v Loughborough Grammar School and Manchester Grammar School v RGS Lancaster.

Lambs

On Sunday the ISRFC Lambs go in search of their second victory of the season after beating the Irish Exiles last week. They face the RFU U18 London & South East Division at Maidenhead RFC.

7s

The sevens season also continues after a fine start last weekend at the Millfield 7s and the Shiplake 7s.

Attention turns this week to the South Coast 7s at Portsmouth Grammar School, where some of the country’s top teams will gather on Sunday. You can see our preview and the draw here: South Coast 7s Preview & Draw.
