🏉 Rainforestation Cup - 2026 Men's A Grade Ladder Update 🏉

After 9 rounds of the Rainforestation Cup, the competition is shaping up for an exciting run to the finals.

The JCU Mariners Rugby Union Football Club continue to set the pace at the top of the ladder with six wins from seven matches. Their competition-leading points differential of +114 highlights their dominance and has them firmly in the driver's seat heading into the second half of the season.

The Barron Trinity Bulls remain well placed in second position, sitting two wins behind the leaders and building momentum as the finals race begins to heat up.

The battle for the remaining finals positions is incredibly tight, with just two competition points separating third and fourth. Both the Cairns Northern Beaches Rugby Union and Port Douglas Rugby Union Inc. remain firmly in contention and know that every match from here will have a significant impact on the final standings.

Meanwhile, the Southside Crusaders Sports & Culture Rugby Union have shown plenty of fight throughout the season and will be looking to finish strongly and challenge the teams above them in the closing rounds.

With every side still having matches to play and valuable bonus points on offer, the race to secure the highest possible ladder position before the semi-finals is far from over.

🏉 FNQ Rugby Union vs Townsville Brolgas A tough, physical contest from start to finish. The Brolgas pushed us all the way, but FNQ dug deep and held on for a hard-fought win. Proud of the effort, resilience, and teamwork shown by the entire squad. 💪🔥 #fnqrugby #cairns #RugbyUnion
