Last year’s undefeated champions, Paul Roos Gim, sit fifth on the log but have an opportunity to catch up this weekend.
Schools have all the more to play for with the first school rugby rankings being released this year.
Last year’s runners-up Grey College lead with 21.00 ranking system points from their four games, and Paarl Boys High find themselves second with 20.55 from two games.
Last year’s undefeated champions, Paul Roos Gim, sit fifth on the log at this early stage having just played two games. The school will have a chance to pick up more points when they host the Noord Suid festival from 28 March to 1 April, taking on 2024 Noordvaal Cup winners Garsfontein in a highlight fixture.
In the same tournament, Paarl Gim will face Monument, Boishaai will take on Affies, Boland Landbou will meet Waterkloof, and SACS will go up against KES on the Markotter fields.
Meanwhile, Grey High School will host their own tournament, playing Michaelhouse in a key fixture. Michaelhouse’s second fixture against Bishops is expected to be just as thrilling.
On Tuesday, Grey College take on Jeppe. Jeppe caused an upset in their previous encounter last season.
