First XV Rugby: The SA School Sports Top 100 Rankings for this week: 21/05/2018

It was a thunderous display from Paul Roos Gym who proceeded to clinically dispose of Paarl Boys High this weekend, a team who have ridden the crest of school rugby for the past few years, but this time were made to look out of sorts.

Many of late have asked just how good is this Paul Roos Gym team, who SA School Sports tipped as the number team in the country way back in March when the first Top 100 Rankings were published. To be viewed as the best they have to beat the best and this is what PRG have done systematically from the start of the season. There are still at least two big guns that lay ahead for PRG, Grey College and Glenwood who are also still unbeaten and if they can hold their nerve against those two powerhouses of school rugby we might be able to propose that this Paul Roos Gym team is one of the best teams in recent history.

There is however still plenty of rugby to be played in 2018 and it remains to be seen who will move up the table as the weeks tick by. Boishaai who will be bruised but not beaten by their loss to PRG and find themselves in the uncustomary position of being outside the top 10 but they have the ability to bounce back and we believe they will.

Boland Landbou inch close to the leading ten teams following their win over Bishops and DHS put one over their old rivals Maritzburg College in what has become a rarity of late. DHS are enjoying perhaps their best season for years and are good value for their top 20 position.

Glenwood, Grey College and Paarl Gim all recorded healthy wins although Paarl Gym got a shock from Oakdale who came close to upsetting their apple cart.
