The U18 Craven and Academy Week will be held in Port Elizabeth next year as SA Rugby announced the hosts for future youth weeks until 2022.
Nelson Mandela University will be the next hosts of the Craven Week, after it was held at Grey College in Bloemfontein this year.
The U18 Youth Weeks will then be moving to Monument High School in Johannesburg in 2021 and Rondebosch Boys’ High School in Cape Town in 2022.
The U13 Craven Week and U16 Grant Khomo Week will be staged at Jeppe High School in Johannesburg (2020), Durban High School (2021) and Diamantveld High School in Kimberley (2022) respectively.
