Reckon Paarl Gim will finished undefeated this year!
One of the more accurate ranking systems I've seen, so well done House Rugga🤝🏻 Does seem like some of the sides ranked lower seems to be missing some results which might impact the rankings as I know Strand have won games vs Worcester Gim and Bredasdorp earlier on in the Strand Aandreeks and I don't think it was taken into account here, they were full games and full teams. Very good nonetheless
So the table looks wrong. Gim played a 20min/side game and drew, how does this form part of the table? Then I just noticed that 75th ranked Brackenfell drew against Bellville High, the table says they have played Zero Games??🤔🤔🤔
Please keep it respectful! Enjoy the rugga & keep this space welcoming for all 💪🏻
