The biggest seismic shift occurred in the Western Cape. Paarl Gim firmly cemented their number one status with a jaw-dropping 68-22 demolition of fellow heavyweights Paul Roos Gymnasium. This heavy defeat caused Paul Roos to slide down to third.

Capitalizing on that slip, a rampant Stellenberg side has sensationally climbed into second place overall. They earned their new rank after obliterating Bishops 59-5, setting up a thrilling chasing pack dynamic at the top.

Up north, Garsfontein put on an absolute clinic, destroying Monument 62-31 to leapfrog historical powerhouses Grey College into fourth spot.
