@Jamjar: Wynberg have a chance to set the record straight this Saturday.
Paul Roos and Paarl BH way to high in my opinion. Wynberg have only lost 1 game but are ranked (according to you) below Grey PE (whom they beat just 2 weeks back). I realise this is basically a thumb suck so doesnt actually matter but still.
Some big games this weekend
I meant Diamantveld and Paul Roos
EG Jansen could possibly be above Affies if you compare their accumalative scores against Duineveld and Paul Roos. EG score margins bigger than compare against Affies against these two. Just a pity EG’s lost against HTS Middelburg. But eveyone has an off day now and then, especially if the game is played on a swimming pool
@BoishaaiPa: Dit is sekerlik, volgens my, die mees geloofwaardig en akkurate ranglys op die oomblik in Suid-Afrika, veral wanneer dit kom by die skeiding van die top 10 skole van die res en die sortering van daardie top 10 skole in ‘n tipe van ‘n volgorde. Dit is inderdaad so dat op skoolvlak enige span op enige dag teen enige ander span kan verloor. Skoolspanne het nie die diepte van profesionele spanne nie en beserings en uitputting eis nou en dan sy tol, veral by skole wat week in en week uit sterk spanne mee kompiteer. So om ‘n man te kruisig omdat bv. 14 vir 6 wen een naweek, maar steeds op 14 le is onregverdig. Ek dink die spesifieke ranglys is so opgestel om spanne te beloon vir konstante goeie vertonings (op telbord) teen kwaliteit opposisie en nie om ‘n span te beloon vir ‘n once-off uitskieter vertoning nie, die formule laat dit net nie toe nie. En hiermee verwys ek na geen skool of individu se mening op hierdie blogg nie, ek betuig maar net my dank aan Boishaaipa vir die goeie formule en werk wat hy doen om die oukies te beloon vir goeie vertonings in die seisoen.
Bly om te sien Tygerberg is nog onder die Top 50 na Saterdag se skandalige verloor teen Rondebosch.
@BoishaaiPa: IMHO, you should tweak the formula, so that a losing team cannot get more points than a winning team – especially when they’ve played at home, where a “lesser” team sometimes grows an extra arm and a leg. At best, I think a lower ranked team losing very narrowly away from home could get almost the same points. I agree that Strand deserves some ‘bonus’ points, but to push them above SACS when they have lost at home does not make too much sense to me.
Having said that, it is a thankless job and your rankings are good in general, with only a few anomalies – e.g. Kearsney and Glenwood are about six or seven spots too high and Garsfontein is about seven spots too low. Time will tell though.
@sacssupporter: If you lose by 7 or less you get 45% of the Category points of opposing teams…helping the minnows a bit..but this also help with indication of who should be ajusted throughout….SACS got 1 point out of that game while Strand got 1.8…Think about it…Strand performed much better than SACS did dont you think even though they lost?….In the bigger schemes of things, you need to play the stronger opposition to gain some points. Over the season the more you play stronger opposition (and win some).., the better your ranking will be.
@Tjoppa: 12:00
@sacssupporter: So did your mother in law. But just accept it for what it is.
@BoishaaiPa: I would agree with you but that those old results should already have been in your calculations before Saturday.
So what you are saying is that Strand got more points for losing to sacs by 7 points than SACs got for beating them by 7? Do you count the Newlands & other shortened games – as was the Bellville game at the Brackenfell festival – 20 mins?
Please don’t get me wrong I think your “log” is a very good one – it just seemed strange to me….
@sacssupporter: SACS should win Strand by much more than 7 points..and SACS lost to Bellville who is a category below them…Wins against WIndhoek and Brackenfell doesnt account for much, only the Boland win is keeping you up there!
@Bol: Time for Gimvs PR?
@Queenian: Dont be swayed or impacted by the sighs. The record IN Pretoria is equal to that in Bloem, 34 – 4 , I think.
As always well done BHP. Your rankings are a cut above the thumb sucking and all other methods used. No personal views. Just plain results.
@Hanswors: Ja die wedstryde gaan beslis voort! Behoort ‘n baie mooi game te wees want ek dink die spanne sal baie gelyk teen mekaar opweeg!
I’m a little confused – SACS beat Strand High on Saturday but Strand jump into the top 50 for the first time one place ahead of SACS?
@beet: Or one team is going to be grilled
Grassy
Yup ! as old school says lets enjoy it while we can – scored some big Brownie Points at WK
if we beat Hilton on Saturday and have more local wins we will stay in the top ten
All my mates who saw the match on TV were quite knocked out by Glenwoods defence
This the second time I lost a bet with the Lightie @ Gwd – had to settle with KFC this time
I did not think the machine had enough firepower to beat Paarl Boys
Still bragging at the office – I work with another Gwd Old boy and 2 W’ville Old Boys
@Grasshopper: Rankings aside. On current form Glenwood definitely a top 10 team
@Grasshopper: as to are Kearsney……we should fall just outside the top 10 …..but we will enjoy for now !
For me Glenwood are too high, they have lost to Garsies, Drostdy, Paarl Gim, Kearsney and Paul Roos so should be around 15th to 20th. I am flattered by this ranking and that by beating Boishaai and Boland Landbou we move up drastically but in all honesty the team is more like 15th than 8th.
@Woltrui: Ahh, my son is playing Bulletjie(Cheetah style) rugby, really wanted to see the Garsies game, shocking time to play.
Paul Roos vs Gim is Live on HD and Grey College vs Affies delayed at 19:15
@Queenian: Grey College are home to Affies.
The Afrikaans word to describe it is “RILLER”
@Queenian: Grey Bloem, sigh…..(sug….), in Bloem, sigh…..
@Bol: Bol they are playing at LC De Villiers (Tuks) stadium. 8h00 in the morning. Nice thick layer of dew on the field. Ouch(it does bring back memories)
Okes check out the new Tjampions League as well on the other thread.
@Woltrui: Who Affies playing this weekend
@Woltrui: Where is the Garsies vs EG Jansen game?
@rugbyfan: Affies not playing good rugby at the moment. Forwards not strong in the contact. Not cleaning out rucks etc etc. Potentially a very good team with talented individuals. I think their shortcomings will be exposed this coming weekend.
Think they might even battle to win teams with strong packs like HTS Middelburg.
@Woltrui: Why would Affies not be a top 5
Volgens my is die 5 beste spanne, op huidige spelpeil, tans as volg:
Paarl Gim
Outenikwa
EG Jansen
Grey Bloem
Garsfontein
Affies, HTS Middelburg, Glenwood, Nellies en Kearsney maak die 6 to 10 posisies.
Waterkloof en Paarl BH speel onder potensiaal.
Wonder of die wedstryd tussen Garsies en Waterkloof wat op die 18 de sou plaasvind nog aan is. Ons hier in die verre noord ooste sal graag wil sien wat gebeur as die 2 buur skole mekaar pak.
Wildeklawer het dinge heel deurmekaar gemaak. Iets wat ek ek opmerk, Waterkloof nr 19 met beide Nelspruit en HJS Paarl op nommers 7 en 14 onderskeidelik. Waterkloof het albei die spanne gewen, dus omdat hulle teen nommer 1 en 2 verloor het skuif hulle af na die 19 de plek. Monnas wat ook al 2 keer verloor het teen spanne wat laer op die ranglys is is op 18?
Al wat ek weet is dat nr 1 en 2 daar bo hoort met al die ander spanne iewers tussen 3 en 50……….
Danial Pienaar have lost 5 games already this year so they are maybe No 85
Kearsny to high/Grey PE to low and were is Union High a small school doing extremly well this year they put 25 points past Kingswood
