SA School Sports First XV School Rugby Rankings – Calm Before the Storm
While many teams prepare for a mid-season breather, Paarl Gim continue to write a fairy-tale campaign. Their latest display—a polished 50-0 shut-out of Bishops—felt almost restrained in a year of runaway scorelines. Relentless at the breakdown and ruthless in transition, the Gimmies tighten their grip on the summit and inch closer to an unbeaten regular season.
Just down the peninsula, the Southern Suburbs derby produced the week’s purest drama. Rondebosch and Wynberg slugged it out in trademark high-tempo fashion, trading territory and tackles until the dying minutes. Then came a flash of opportunism: Wynberg scrum-half Morné Noble darted for a 50 meters solo effort, silencing the crowd and sealing a memorable upset. It was a reminder that, away from the headlines, pride and passion still dictate the narrative of schoolboy rugby.
All roads now point to 2 August, when neighbours and arch-rivals Boishaai and Paarl Gim collide in a clash already billed as the “biggest school match on earth.” Boishaai remain the only side with a realistic shot at toppling Gim, and the anticipation for that season-defining encounter grows by the week.
For now, Paarl Gim have one hand on the crown, but August promises fireworks—and perhaps a final twist in a captivating 2025 campaign.
To every player, coach, parent, and fan who checks the school rugby rankings, packs the stands, or streams the highlights: thank you for the unwavering, passionate support that keeps South African school rugby rankings thriving. Enjoy the break—then buckle up for the stretch run!
