Good spot, maybe look at the u16 results and number of pupils to try and work out bounce-back-ability. I think Glenwood can get back into the Top 50 based on the junior teams results, but I can’t see them being Top20 again, unless the Old Boys really start to pump money into the school, that has started…
This is probably stating the obvious but if one looks at the black squares in the Top 42 of the 2024 column, with the exception of Marlow, who I feel are still going strong and punching well above their weight, the others have been at different degrees of focus of a rugby decline.
1. Glenwood
2. Bishops
3. HTS Drostdy
4. Kearsney
5. Noord-Kaap
6. Marlow
7. Dale
8. Menlopark
9. Eldoraigne
10. Brandwag (EP)
I suppose the next logical step would be to rank them in terms of rugby bounce-back-ability but that might be very sensitive as each school has hardworking coaches and officials grafting their hardest to turn things around.

Thank you Rainier. I have sorted it out.
Why is 50-55’s points so wonky?

Sad to see Glenwood drop out of the Top 50 in 2024 and to No10 in the last 15 year list, next year hopefully back up into the Top 50, ideally Top 30.
