Montpellier-bound flyhalf Kade Wolhuter has not been included in the SA Schools squads for the upcoming international series in August.

Wolhuter, who attends Paul Roos and has played for the Western Province U18 Craven Week team for the past two years, has already signed a junior contract with Montpellier and will be joining the French side’s academy next year.

Despite starring for Province at this year’s Craven Week in Bloemfontein, Wolhuter has been left out of both the SA Schools and SA Schools A squads announced on Monday.

Jacques Goosen (hooker, Border), Jarrod Taylor (flank, Border), Keketso Morabe (flank, Griffons) and Jurich Claasens (scrumhalf,  Blue Bulls), all of whom played for the SA Schools team in 2018, were again included in the squad.

Paarl Boys’ High’s Kean Meadon and Hermanus High’s Boldwin Hansen are the two flyhalves in the SA Schools squad.
