There has already been several high profile festivals to kick start the 2019 school rugby season with the promise of more to come in the approaching weeks. With the majority of the leading teams in the country full engaged in the season we are looking at familiar faces at the top of this week’s SA School Sports First XV Top 100 Rankings.
Grey College, Framesby and Paarl Gim make up the top three with an unbeaten Boishaai and Grey High School making up the top five.
Let it be stressed that there are still many teams that will be added to the rankings once they have submitted or played the minimum amount of matches which has been set at 3 from this week. Naturally we can expect some changes to the table as some of the bigger names are entered.
Bear in mind that the rankings formula makes use of several factors such as strength of opposition, margin of victory, margin of defeat, result (W/L/D), home and away status, actual points scored on the field and others in determining the rankings.
Please send through your team’s results to editor@saschoolsports.co.za.
