Excitement is building in the world of school rugby as the latest U16 rankings have been released, revealing Paarl Gim as the top-ranked team. Paarl Boys High and Paul Roos Gym follow closely behind in second and third place respectively.
Early-Season Rankings: What It Means for School Rugby
As we’re still in the early stages of the season, it’s important to remember that the rankings are more like a marathon of seasonal form rather than a short sprint of flash-in-the-pan performances. Patience is key, as there are still plenty of matches to be played, and the rankings table is likely to see a lot of movement.
Coaches and schools are reminded to submit their results to editor@saschoolsports.co.za to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the rankings. It’s essential to have a clear picture of the current state of school rugby in South Africa, and every result counts towards achieving this.
Exciting U16 School Rugby Season Underway
The U16 school rugby scene is heating up, with so many talented teams vying for the top spot. It’s exciting to see the quality of rugby being played across the country, with each team pushing themselves to be the best they can be.
In conclusion, the latest U16 school rugby rankings have shown Paarl Gim as the team to beat, but it’s still early days, and anything can happen as the season progresses. Keep submitting those results, coaches, and let’s continue to enjoy the fantastic display of school rugby talent across the country.
