The latest Fairtree First XV Rugby Rankings are in — and we have a new name at the summit. Stellenberg High School have surged into top spot, brushing aside the challenge of Paul Roos Gymnasium to claim pole position at this stage of the season. Stellenberg’s performances have combined consistency with quality opposition, making their rise both deserved and significant.
As always, these rankings are not a traditional league table. With teams playing varied fixtures across the country, factors such as strength of opposition, match results, and winning margins all play a crucial role in shaping the standings.
The big question now — can Stellenberg hold onto the top spot? With plenty of rugby still to be played and challengers circling, the pressure will only intensify. For now, they lead the pack. What comes next… time will tell
