The 2023 KES Easter Festival will be headlined by Paarl Boys’ High, the only top 20-ranked first XV apart from the host team, who sits 17th position in the rankings.

Those two sides are joined the likes of Selborne, Kempton Park, Queen’s, Nico Malan, Diamantveld, Hudson Park, Eldoraigne, Northwood, Parktown, Ben Vorster, Durbanville and St David’s, in what is a good mix of well-established teams and rapidly rising sides.
