Grey College has produced 45 Springbok rugby players including Ruan Pienaar (Class of 2002), Frans Steyn (Class of 2005), Bismark du Plessis (Class of 2007), and Cobus Reinach (Class of 2014)
Grey College played its first rugby game on the 4th of June 1881 against St Andrews.
In 1873, Dr Johannes Brill recommended that sporting equipment be purchased. This would enable the boarders to occupy their free time and would strengthen the bonds between those who played together.
