School of Rugby Rankings – 29 April 2019
The biggest upset so far this year – King Edward VII defeating Affies in Pretoria by 33-29 had the biggest impact in our second edition of School of rugby’s Rankings for 2019. This was a historic first-ever victory for the Red Army over Affies.
King Edward VII was also emitted erroneously from our first rankings of the season. Paul Roos Gimnasium is still not taken into contention as they have only played two matches against local teams thus far in 2019. The team from Stellenbosch will without a doubt be one of the top teams in the country and be listed on our rankings once they’ve played five matches.
Please note that we don’t take matches against international opposition into consideration in our rankings. These games will however still be recorded and shown in our results.
This rankings is not an official ranking as there is no official ranking on schoolboy level and this is only to get the discussion on school rugby on South Africa flowing. We however take our responsibility on reporting school rugby very seriously.

Please note:
- Grey College‘s victories against Christchurch Boys’ High (73-26) and Southland Boys’ High (54-0) during the World Schools Festival does not count towards the rankings and therefore doesn’t reflect in the statistics.
- Paarl Gimnasium‘s victories over the Africa-Pacific Dragons (50-24) and Hartpury College (41-12) during the World Schools Festival does not count towards the rankings and therefore doesn’t reflect in the statistics.
- Paarl Boys’ High‘s victories during the St John’s College Easter Festival against the Golden Lions XV (66-7) and Windhoek Gimnasium (64-0) does not count towards the rankings and therefore doesn’t reflect in the statistics. Their match against Hoërskool Nelspruit (40-0) during the festival was stopped early due to lightning. We regarded this as a result.
