Paul Roos have reclaimed second position in the FNB Top 20 rankings following their 19-12 win against Grey College.

The defeat in Stellenbosch, coupled with Paarl Gym's 54-16 thumping of Tygerberg, sees Grey drop two spots from second to fourth, with Gimmies promoted one place higher to complete an all-Cape top three.

The rest of the top half remains unchanged.

Lower down, Garsfontein's thrilling 42-40 victory over HTS Middelburg earns them promotion off the bottom of the standings to 17th; Diamantveld rise from 19th to 18th after cruising to a 45-18 win over Sentraal; and Maritzburg, despite not playing this past weekend, are relegated from 17th to 19th.
