After the dust has settled from a packed Easter weekend of school rugby, the latest Fairtree First XV Rugby Rankings reveal how the landscape is beginning to take shape. With a high volume of fixtures played, strength of opposition has already proven a key factor in separating the front runners, while a few traditional powerhouses have stumbled out of the blocks.
As a result, the early-season rankings are starting to reflect both form and the quality of competition faced — setting the stage for what promises to be a fiercely contested season ahead.
