Schoolboy rugby rankings: How many changes would you make?
This past weekend there was a general consensus that Paarl Boys' High epic comeback win over rivals Paarl Gimnasium had served to see them leapfrog their local rivals to claim the 'unofficial' No 1 First XV rugby ranking. It was a marquee fixture during an action-packed weekend of schoolboy rugby, and it has made for some interesting reading as various versions and predictions have done the rounds in an attempt to pinpoint where the top schoolboy rugby sides would sit on a rankings list. The simple fact of the matter is that there is NO possible way of accurately determining a definitive list – and every rankings list is subjective at best – but this article serves as our call to action for you to let us know where you think teams should be truly placed on this list. Below is our attempt at an updated, unofficial 'official' First XV Top 20 rankings list after the weekend's matches, but … here is our question to you: Let us know by leaving a comment at the end of this article, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.

Schools wrap: Paarl Gim hand DHS first loss as Wildeklawer rugby festival closes
Paarl Gimnasium beat DHS to prevail in a clash between two unbeaten teams while Diamantveld edged Martizburg College on the last day of the 2025 Wildeklawer tournament in Kimberley. Paarl Gim powered to a 21-13 half-time lead over Durban High School and flyhalf Louis Koen and hard-running No 8 Quinton Potgieter were prominent in the second half as the Cape schoolboys stretched their lead to win 47-20. The result marks DHS' first loss of 2025 while Paarl Gim improve to 6-2-0 from six wins and two draws. The try from Diamantveld tighthead prop Dian Ellis broke the deadlock while captain Jonathan Harding scored a hat-trick in a 38-31 win against Maritzburg College. Paarl Boys' High hooker Christiaan Grundlingh and flank Jayden Joubert each scored a hat-trick in a 13-try, 85-0 demolition of Monument. Noordheuwel held their nerve as flyhalf Jeandre Uithaler kicked a long-range penalty to edge Outeniqua 35-32 in a roller-coaster match that saw the lead change hands multiple times. Waterkloof and Stellenberg played to a 17-17 stalemate as centre Armand Potgieter mustered the boys from Bellville to fight back in the second half with Waterkloof defending for their lives at the death. Despite their best efforts, Boland Landbou had no answer for the raw firepower of Affies as the boys from Pretoria ran at will to win 74-14. Two late tries from Jeppe salvaged some respect in a match dominated by Oakdale who converted a 14-6 half-time lead into a 47-25 victory. Paul Roos Gymasium came back from an early deficit with a second-quarter surge that saw them jog off at the break with a 24-7 advantage over EG Jansen. The second half was a closer contest but the class of Paul Roos shone through in a 46-17 victory. Fullback Lamla Mgedezi scored a brace while centre Darius Erwee chipped in with a try and nine points from the boot as Grey College ran in six tries to beat Garsfontein 45-29. 2025 Wildeklawer rugby festival results Wednesday: Marlow 25-22 Welkom Gim Nico Malan 41-39 Glenwood Diamantveld 24-54 Waterkloof Affies 20-18 Paul Roos Thursday: EG Jansen 20-10 Drostdy HTS Boland Landbou 64-5 Framesby DHS 26-19 Stellenberg Outeniqua 21-20 Monument Garsfontein 30-30 Oakdale Barbarian North 23-15 Barbarian South Paarl Gim 46-20 Northwood Rustenburg 33-7 Voortrekker Bethlehem Paarl Boys' 42-14 Noordheuwel Jeppe 36-24 Maritzburg College Grey College 56-14 Helpmekaar Saturday: Waterkloof 17-17 Stellenberg Noordheuwel 35-32 Outeniqua Rustenburg 33-0 Welkom Gim Monnas 0-85 Paarl Boys' Framesby 7-62 Helpmekaar Diamantveld 38-31 Maritzburg College Barbarian South 48-0 Voortrekker Bethlehem Northwood 14-12 Drostdy HTS Affies 74-14 Boland Landbou Marlow 8-6 Glenwood Jeppe 25-47 Oakdale Nico Malan 6-14 Barbarian North EG Jansen 17-46 Paul Roos Garsfontein 29-45 Grey College DHS 20-47 Paarl Gim The post Schools wrap: Paarl Gim dent DHS appeared first on SA Rugby Magazine.
