Since the last publishing of the rankings some several week’s back there has been some notable movement that has taken place on the U14 Top 100 Rankings which sees Grey College in pole position at this late stage of the season.

The unbeaten Hilton College make their entry into the SA School Sports U16 Ranking in second spot just behind Paarl Gim, but it is very tight at the top.

Paarl Gim enjoyed a highly successful week with two powerful victories over overseas opposition which included a 38-36 win over the mighty Argentinian Jaquares side.

Westville who had been enjoying a great start to the season in 2019 suffered another narrow defeat last week at the hands of Affies which has seen the Durban team slip out of the top 10 zone on this week’s U16 School Rugby Top 100 Rankings.

The top four teams in this week’s Belgotex Sports First XV Top 100 are all unbeaten so far this season which makes for a highly competitive top end of the table.

Hilton College take another step forward following their good win over the weekend and will be looking to climb a couple of places more before the season is out and finish in the top five.

There were only a handful of youths out on the rugby field during Youth Day last week which have done little to alter the First XV Rankings for this week.

It was yet another slam dunk performance by the mercurial Paul Roos Gym side who came, saw and conquered Bishops to remain the leading team on this week’s First XV Top 100 Rankings.

Helpmekaar are knocking on the door of the top 5 zone on this week’s SA School Sports U15 Rugby Rankings after a strong win over Transvalia and along with Boishaai move up a notch thanks in part to Selborne who slip down after their match against Grey College.

The three leading teams on this week’s U14 School Rugby Rankings all scored 50 plus wins last week to underline their dominance in this division.
