As the curtain falls on the 2025 school rugby season, it’s once again that thrilling moment we’ve all been waiting for—the unveiling of the Fairtree Combined Rugby Rankings! Staying true to tradition, these rankings bring together performances from the U14, U15, U16, and First XV teams to paint a complete picture of each school’s rugby strength.
What makes these rankings so special is that they don’t simply reward the schools with the strongest First XV. Instead, they shine a spotlight on those institutions that nurture talent at every level, honoring the programs that invest in their players from the grassroots all the way to the top. It’s a true celebration of schools that live and breathe rugby excellence.
This year, it’s Affies who emerge as the Top Rugby School of 2025, proving their dominance by delivering outstanding performances across all age groups. Their consistency is remarkable, but the rankings also highlight something essential—real rugby success is built on depth, not just star power at the top. Some schools may field a powerhouse First XV, but without strong junior foundations, their combined ranking feels the impact.
And let’s not forget—rankings are not destiny. In school rugby, anything can happen. Upsets, nail-biting finishes, and unforgettable moments are what keep the game alive and unpredictable. That’s the magic of this sport.
To everyone who has supported and followed these rankings through our 19th season, we say a massive thank you! Your passion, encouragement, and belief in what we do keeps this journey alive and growing.
As we look ahead to the 2026 season, we cannot wait for the first whistle to blow and to once again celebrate the grit, talent, and dedication of young rugby players and the schools that shape them. Here’s to another unforgettable year of school rugby!
