First XV Rugby Rankings

After waiting for over a year school rugby is virtually back in full swing with many of the rugby playing schools back in action.A look at the first SA SchoolSports First XV Rugby Rankings of 2021 shows us several things.

Firstly we are at the very early stages of what will be a shorter than normal rugby season and so we should wait for more matches and teams to play before we can see more clearly who the leading teams are this year.

Secondly, when we look at the top 10 on First XV Rugby Rankings table it is difficult not to see the absence of the Northern teams. The Cape dominate the top half of the table with Paarl Gim way out in front in these early exchanges and with their win over Grey College and thumping victories over Garsfontein and Helpmekaar few would dispute their status.

There have been several explanations as to the poor showing of the Northern teams, but cream always rises to the top and we can expect the traditional powerhouses from this region to be back to their best as the season progresses.

Bear in the mind the rankings equation takes into consideration several key factors such as: strength of opposition, margin of victory, margin of loss, home/away status and others.
