Sportsmans Warehouse SA School Sports First XV school Rugby Rankings – Another Classic Settles the Debate
After last week’s rankings release, the SA School Sports offices were buzzing with emails and calls, many echoing a common sentiment:
“There’s no way Paarl Gim should be No.1 — Grey College deserves the top spot!”
Well, after one of the finest displays of schoolboy rugby we’ve seen in 2025, it’s safe to say our inbox will be a lot quieter this week!
In a match that lived up to every ounce of the hype, Paarl Gim underlined exactly why they have been sitting at the summit of the Sportsmans Warehouse SA School Sports First XV Rankings. Their composed, clinical performance against Grey College showcased not just brilliance with ball in hand, but also tactical intelligence, and steely determination. Grey College certainly had their chances, but there are chinks in the armour this season, and Paarl Gim were ruthless in exposing them when it mattered most.
Paarl Gim remain unbeaten in 2025, a record that now faces stern upcoming challenges from the likes of Boishaai and Paul Roos Gymnasium, both also flexing serious muscle this past weekend. Boishaai looked particularly sharp against a strong Rondebosch side, suggesting they could be peaking just in time for their blockbuster clashes looming on the horizon.
Together with an unbeaten Paul Roos Gym, Boishaai completes a fiercely competitive Top 3, with Affies also climbing a spot after a solid win over Garsfontein.
A massive, heartfelt thank you to all the players, coaches, parents, and fans who pour their passion into school rugby every week—and to the tens of thousands who eagerly follow the rankings. Your support, energy, and enthusiasm are what make South African schoolboy rugby truly world-class. The school rugby rankings season is heating up beautifully—strap in, because the best is yet to come!
