About the Rugby Ignite School Ranking System
Rugby Ignite uses a points-based ranking system adapted from the World Rugby ranking model for South African school rugby.
The rankings are not based only on win percentage. Every result matters, but the strength of the opposition determines how much a team can gain or lose. Beating a higher-rated school can move a team up quickly, while losing to a lower-rated school can cause a bigger drop.
The Season Rankings focus on current form this season, while the All-Time School Rugby Ratings show longer-term strength across seasons.
Every ranking here is built from verified first team results captured on Match Pulse. For upcoming matches, live scores and full results, visit Match Pulse Rugby.
