The 2017 Rugby Season is in full swing and most of the leading teams in South Africa have played enough matches to grace this week’s Belgotex Sport s Top 100 Rankings.
There are still however, several teams that are yet to play the minimum of three matches before they appear on the rankings and amongst that group is last year’s champion side Boishaai who are busy dismantling their New Zealand opposition on tour.
However as to be expected the cream as risen to the top so early into the season and we are looking at the usual suspects occupying the top positions this week. Grey College are steam rolling ahead of the Easter Weekend feast of rugby and we also have a powerful Paarl Gim side in hot pursuit.
The Easter festival throughout the country will no doubt have a significant bearing on the rankings next week and we can expect some movement in both directions on the table.
If you team is not appearing yet please ensure all your outstanding results have be submitted to editor@saschoolsports.co.za to guarantee their inclusion.
