There’s a new No.1. Affies’ dominate performance against Maritzburg College has given them a slight edge on Paarl Gim by just seven hundredth’s of a point. The log looks very settled near the top. In the teens, Wynberg and Grey PE have made big leaps following good campaigns at Cape Schools week. Rondebosch have gone through a bleak period and might be a bit fortunate to only fall seven spots. Their early season form has definitely come to their rescue. Maritzburg College and Kempton Park are other schools that have suffered major drops.

@bhkgpa: Jy is reg, maar jy maak presies die punt – waarom moet ons op iets wat verkeerd is kommentaar lewer? Daar is heelwat belangriker dinge waaroor ons kan gesels.
Maar soos ek gemeld het, gestandaardiseerde perseptuele opnames is juis ontwikkel om ranglyste van die aard op te stel. Dan kan ons oor iets wat wetenskaplik nader aan reg is kommentaar lewer.
@BoishaaiPa, jou reaksie is onnodig, ek vra bloot n vraag want HJS se posisie maak nie vir my sin nie…wat inter skole aanbetref natuurlik kan HJS wen…ek het geen probleem daarmee nie ek het die grootste respek vir jou skool…Gim se seisoen sal steeds baie suksesvol wees al verloor ons op 3 Augustus…die druk is volkome op HJS aangesien Gim slegs 1 keer verloor het sedert 2004..
School Sports News s’n die beste vir my. Sien nie een van BoishaaiPa of 365 se Jan de Koning kan/wil daai PRG posisie vir my verduidelik nie.
@PaarlBok: Het hierdie post vir die Boere gestuur, lekker uit konteks ook nog, sterkte!
Al wat saakmaak is volgende naweek se interskole score, die res is bloot akademies.
@Tjoppa: Affies is net op 3 van die 5 ranglyste nommer 1. Op 365 en SA School Sports is dit nog steeds PG. As ‘n gemiddeld uitgewerk word van die 5 lyste se top 20 spanne dan is die top 16:
1. Affies
2. Paarl Gymnasium
3. Outeniqua
4. Grey College
5. Dr EG Jansen
6. Garsfontein
7. Nelspruit
8. Paarl Boys High
9. Kearsney
10. Waterkloof
11. Monument
12. Pretoria Boys High
13. HTS Middelburg
14. Westville
15. Grey High
Die bogenoemde 15 spanne verskyn op al die ranglyste se top 20. Glenwood maak dit net nie in die top 15 nie omdat een ranglys Glenwood nie in die top 20 het nie.
Marlow, Brandwag, Paul Roos, Kemptonpark, Wynberg en Noordkaap is op 4 van die 5 ranglyste.
@DieBos: ja ja
@Djou: ranglyste beteken niks, dit is maar net daar om almal bietjie kommentaar te kan laat lewer, geniet dit so, ons weet mos dit is onmoontlik om dit reg te kry. Op die vlak kan 2 skole week in en week uit teen mekaar speel en dit is baie moontlik dat die een vandag wen en die ander een more.
@gimmie: teoreties is jy miskien reg maar kom volgende week dan tel wat jy sê of geen ranking enige iets nie, so kom ons kyk maar wat gebeur tussen die lyne. Soos ander kommentaar genoem kom groepering oor n paar jaar en nie net een seisoen nie.jy het wel vergeet dat PR ook gewen is en jy noem nie dit nie. Ek is nie heeltemal seker nie, maar verdien im die nr een of 2 volgens jou? Hulle het mos ook maar net n paar skole gespeel?
@Djou: Ai tog…Dis baie eenvoudig..Almal word onder dieselfde kam geskeer..n formule kan nie een ding uitwerk vir een span en n ander vir n ander span nie…Die begrip is eenvoudig…As jy spanne soos Muir College speel wat n laer kategorie is, gaan jou gemiddelde wedstrydpunt effens daal..en as jy n span soos Maritzburg speel wat hoer gerate word as Muir, gaan jou gemiddeld effens op…@gimmie: konsentreer eerder op jou eie span en hou op worry waar Boishaai is..Dit gaan nie oor wie jy wen wat huidiglik op die lys is nie..Skole se kategoriee word bepaal oor n tydperk van 2 tot 3 seisoene….Ek is bly jy dink ons hoort nie daar nie..miskien sal jou sienswyse verander na die 3rde Aug…Almal is mos n kenner!
@Djou: Die vlak van die bottel Red Heart, is n versteekte faktor in die ranglys.
@boishaaipa, I am confused, Boishaai has played 6 of your top 20 ranked teams in 2013. They lost against 4 of them (teams ranked nrs 3,4,15 and 18) and beat only 2 lowly ranks ones (Wynberg at nr 13 and oakdale at 20)..There is no logic in their nr 6 ranking whatsoever..on performance, boishaai does not deserve a place in the top 10…
@Tjoppa: Presies. Rugby15 het dit lankal so gehad en ek vermoed (kan nie bewys nie) BHP het nou onder druk geswig. Ons weet teen die tyd die formule is positief bevooroordeeld teenoor sommige spanne en benadeel ander (veral spanne in die Noordvaal).
@Djou: Affies nou eerste op al die lsyte. Erens is iemand reg.
@DieBos: Heeltemal reg, die statisties gedrewe formule waarmee die ranglys bepaal word het hopeloos te veel metodologiese gebreke om enigsins ernstig opgeneem te word. Mens kan bloot eenvoudig nie formules gebruik om iets te meet wat nie meetbaar is nie, tog word dit hier gedoen. ‘n Gestandaardiseerde perseptuele opname is ‘n baie beter metode om die ranglys op te styl. Kyk gerus na Rugby 15 se ranglys, dit is nie sonder foute nie, maar heelwat beter as die een.
Gim wen ver en skuif af? Boishaai wen oortuigend met 21/20 op tuisveld teen “swak” PRG en skuif 2 plekke op? Boishaai verloor teen al die sterk skole waarteen hulle vanjaar gespeel het. Soos Glenwood , Outeniekwa en Grey. Nou wag Gim ook nog. HumblePie jou lekker ding
@sacssupporter: An OG supporting another school ? I dont think that it will ever happen in Bloem.
@Mike: Good luck to Grey PE – Is Grey PE’s No. 6 fit and playing? He is a very important part of that team.
Let’s hope this side can turn the tables on a very good Grey Bloem side!
From a very old Grey PE lad!
@sacssupporter: apologies, I was told they didn’t play. Also Schinkerling is out, best lock in the country. Did Oosthuizen play, also a massive line breaker for them. Glenwood played them at Kearsney with all their stars and were just outplayed. I think the score was 43-12. Glenwood backs did have a good day scoring 2 great tries. I watched SACS vs Bishops and thought the SACS side was very well balanced and workman like, no match for a Gim side though…
@Deon: Geagte Mnr Deon. Vir die rekord. Affies en Paarl Gim het mekaar reeds 13 keer gespeel. Affies wen 6 en Gim wen 6. 1 Gelykop.
I still do think that Gim are the best team in SA currently. Affies a very close second though. If only those two sides could play each other. Big game for Grey PE this weekend in Bloem.
@Grasshopper: It is not correct to say Paarl Gym were without three of their best players – Vermeulen and Bothma both came on for the 2nd half against SACS – the score was 17 – 3 at the time with SACS not kicking two penalties in front.
However when they came on they lifted Gym’s play to another level – wow, they are damn good! Gym scored 6 tries in the 2nd half and showed us why they are the best in SA.
Huge respect for these two guys and to Gym as a whole!
@Tjoppa: You are delusional. What that list, for what its worth,says is that the schools in the Central region,collectively, are on par or even stronger, rugby wise, than the other regions. At least you admit bias and if this had been a court, I suspect , with that argument, you may even receive a life sentence.
@BOG: Your case being? Your no 1, although 4th in country, is respected and have been no 1 in the central district for as long as History was compiled. So a no brainer there. 2 & 3 ages apart and the rest only part of the above 40 club. So what is the use compiling a top 10 list. Secondly the blog is also directed and bias towards its majority members. With only 2 or 3 bloggers please accept your position.
@WBHS Griffon: you would say that about Glenwood, leopard never changes its spots. Agree with ranking based on results so far, but 2 very significant games were not played in KZN, Westville vs Glenwood and Westville vs Kearsney. Results from that would have made a difference. Well done to Kearsney the topped ranked KZN school!
Oh, by the way and for what it is worth, I notice that the Central region(the one which is ignored) has 7 schools on this list, as opposed to 11 from Gauteng, 10 from WP, 5 from KZN and 6 from Border/EC. As they would say in the classics and in court: “I rest my case”
@Tjoppa: Wanneer hulle presteer, is hulle nie aangewese op speletjies en gunsies van ander nie- hulle doen dit op meriete. Maar, aangesien julle oomblikke van glorie so ongereeld en kortstondig is, verwag ek nie dat jy dit sal verstaan nie
Gim dropping and Boishaai climbing…..hmmm…….
@Deon: tjie tjie tjie
@Ploegskaar: Dink ons moet die knapie erens in ‘n hoek vasdruk en aan hom verduidelik hoe die rankings moet gedoen woed. Maar moet se met Affies op no 1 lyk dit al klaar baie beter. Dit moes baie van hom gevat het om ‘n nie kolonie of greystaat span no1 te maak.
From a KZN perspective, this is pretty accurate with the top 2 sides in KZN, Kearsney and Westville at 5 and 10 respectively. I fear Glenwood could get 50 from Affies which may well push them outsite the top 20. Overall a fair reflection that seems pretty unbiased.
Gim sal 9 uit 10 keer Affies se basse skop.
Ja BHP, 31 is seker maar reg, maar lyk nie so lekker met wenne teen Noord-Kaap, Wynberg, Rondebosch, Paul Roos en Selborne bo hulle nie. Net-net verloor is duidelik lonend.
Paarl Gim are the best, they pumped SACS without 3 or 4 of their best players. Affies play Glenwood this weekend, they will overpower Glenwood and win but Glenwood will fight to the end. Score maybe closer than people think….
@bhkgpa: @tjoppa: but then I also think that on any given day, any of the top 12 teams are capable of winning a higher ranked team
@Tjoppa: remember the rankings are on paper but it is between the white lines where teams earns their rankings. It was a good win by affies, but then Gim also ran riot against sacs. I still think that Gim “sal affies se ga. skop” just a pity they won’t play each other
And sanity kicked in. Go Affies.
