Brian Skozana, a matric pupil at St Andrew’s College, has played centre for the 1st XV since 2008. In the junior teams he played flank. It is always difficult for a forward player making the move to a backline player but Brian showed so much skill it was easy for him to adapt to this new position.
In 2009 he came into his own in this position as outside centre. He played a integral part in the 1st xv game plan.
At the start of the season he was elected captain of the 1st xv for the first three games.
In the April holidays he attended the International Rugby Academy of New Zealand. This all paid of as he was selected for the EPCD team to attend Craven Week.
In the first two games at Craven Week he made such a impression, that he was selected for the SA Schools team to play against Italy and England.
After being selected for this team he was selected for the SA High Performance team to play against France and Namibia. This team would make the core group for the U/20 world cup team for 2010.
Brian is the first player since 1974 to represent SA Schools.
This is a remarkable achievement when you considered that Brian made a positional move only a year and a half ago.
