1st XV

Paarl Boys High came back from the break to continue where they had left off and notched up yet another victory against SACS who put up a huge defensive effort against the Number 1 ranked team in South Africa.

It was a massive effort by Boland Landbou as they locked horns with the indomitable Paarl Boys High to try and do what no other team has done yet in 2017- Beat Boishaai!

It has been a long season already for Paarl Boys High who begun their 2017 season with a successful tour to New Zealand, yet despite having to face the best on offer they remain unbeaten and on top of this week’s Belgotex Sports First XV Top 100 Rankings for yet another week.

Oakdale turned in their performance of the season when they took on the leading team in South Africa, Paarl Boys High, and came within a whisker of recording the biggest upset of 2017. However Boishaai clung on to a 36-31 victory to keep their unbeaten status intact and lead this week’s Belgotex Sports First XV Top 100 Rankings.

There were a few memorable victories during the past week in what is fast becoming one of the tightest seasons amongst the leading teams on the Belgotex Sports First XV Top 100 Rankings.

A sensational and indeed historic win by Selborne College over Grey College has knocked the great grey giant on its heels and back a notch on this week’s Belgotex Sports First XV Top 100 Rankings, which still sees the unbeaten Boishaai firmly in command of the No.1 position.

It is probably a little premature to be publishing the first rankings of the season when there have only been a handful of matches played and many of the traditionally top teams have yet to even start their season. So we expect to get a bit of flack for that, but we can take it.

It was always going to be the biggest test for the First XV Belgotex Sports Top 100 Rankings when the country’s No.1 ranked team, Paarl Boys High, faced off against the second ranked team Grey College. Get this one wrong and the inbox would be full and telephone ringing all day long!

With an overpowering win over Wynberg, Boishaai reclaim the No.1 spot on this week’s Belogotex Sports First XV Top 100 and remain unbeaten for 2017 in the process.

Grey College underlined their dominance this year with two resounding victories over the past long weekend to hold onto their Number One position on this week’s Belgotex Sports Top 100 Rankings.
