SACS vs Stellenberg ended up with a surprisingly easy away win for Stellenberg 7-29. This coming weekend Stellenberg is targeting a Grand Slam in the Southern Suburbs against Bishops after already concurring Wynberg, SACS and Rondebosch (all AWAY).
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 💪🏻
