Wynberg Boys' High School turned DHL Stadium into their home ground on 7 August 2026. A large group of learners made the trip to Cape Town to watch one of their own, Yaqeen Ahmed, take the field as a starting flyhalf for the DHL Stormers in their match against the All Blacks.
It was Ahmed's senior debut for the Stormers, and his former school made sure he felt it. From the stands, the Wynberg boys unleashed their school war cry with the kind of conviction that stopped people mid-conversation. The chant spread through the stadium, pulling the rest of the crowd into the moment and turning the atmosphere electric.
