One side’s own score, which is not the same list as the highest-scoring matches above — a 90-point win and a 45-45 draw are two different records.

Runs are counted across matches in this archive that have a date. Matches recorded with a season but no date are left out, because a match that can’t be ordered can’t be shown to be consecutive.

Rivalries Rankings Every school

The archive is a sample of matches played, not a complete record of every fixture ever contested — so a record here is the best in what is held, which is not always the best there has been.

Margins and scores are between two schools. Matches against clubs, touring sides and representative teams count in every result and every school’s record, but not here.
