With the Southern Hemisphere school season now complete, it’s the perfect time to release our annual Top 20 ranking for the region’s schools.
Our rankings consider not just the overall results but also the relative strength of the opposition faced.
Trophy competitions hold little weight in our assessments—one bad game and a missed trophy don’t define a season, nor does an imperfect record, especially when factoring in the strength of the schedule.
Check out this year’s Top 20 and their results below. You be the judge!
