South African School Rugby Rankings 2027

The 2027 season ranking — a separate rating for that season only, not the All-Time table.

The 2027 season hasn't started yet. The table below is where every school starts it. The ratings move from the first verified result of 2027, with every new result. Paarl Gimnasium starts at No. 1 on 54.89.

The season doesn't start from the All-Time rankings themselves. Each school starts from a narrowed-down version of its All-Time rating at the end of 2026: the seed factor pulls every rating toward the baseline, so schools start much closer together and early 2027 results move the table quickly. From the first match, only 2027 results move it. Until then, the 2026 season rankings are the latest season table. How the rankings work.
