Rugby-afrigters van plaaslike skole gesels met AWSUM Die jaarlikse NMI Noord-Suid Rugby-toernooi het vanaf 22 – 26 Maart in Pretoria plaasgevind, en AWSUM het met die eerstespanne wat aan dié toernooi deelgeneem het se afrigters gesels en by hulle gehoor wat hulle filosofie as afrigters is en wat hulle meen die eienskappe van `n goeie rugbyspeler moet wees.
