Head High Season 1 Mon-Thu (from 12 September) SABC3 (*193) 22:00

From the culture, patriotism and rugby’s ability to bring people from all walks of life together, the sport is our official 12th language, which is why a show like 2019’s Mzansi Magic series Grassroots captivated viewers. Now SABC3 introduces rugby drama series Head High. Set in New Zealand, the show promises an All Blacks flavour (they even do the haka). The two-season series is centred on high school rugby brothers Mana (Jayden Daniels from New Zealand drama series Shortland Street ) and Tai Roberts (Lionel Wellington, Bully in New Zealand series Educators) and their lives trying to impress their coach stepdad Vince (Craig Hall, Jack in Aussie series A Place to Call Home) and cop mom Renee ( Miriam Mcdowell, Bunny in Kiwi drama series The Great Maiden’s Blush).
