Affies have climbed into the top five of the FNB rankings following their 50-19 victory over Maritzburg College.

There are only a few changes to the top 20, as several ranked schools are yet to play after the June holidays and the completion of the youth weeks.

The Wit Bulle’s promotion from eighth to fifth, sees Middelburg, Grey College and Selborne all drop down one rankings spot; with Eldoraigne and Nelspruit completing the top half of the table.

In the only other change to the list, Grey High rise to 14th in a direct swap with SACS who are relegated to 15th position.
