Notes

edit
  1. ^ There is a discrepancy with the result for the Round Three match between the Golden Lions U21 and Leopards U21 on the official South African Rugby Union website.[82] The Final Score is given as 17–29 – which was also the result reported by the Golden Lions' official Twitter account[83] – but the sum of the individual scores in the match add up to a 12–29 result. A third try for the Leopards U21s is seemingly missing from the match breakdown (this is also backed up by a 42nd-minute conversion being scored with no corresponding try), but has been included on this page. The tries for and tries against for the Golden Lions U21 don't correspond with the sum of tries in the match reports, plus the logs indicate that Leopards U21 got five four-try bonus points, while they only got four bonus points according to the match reports.
  2. ^ Some tries are erroneously not included in the official log. Eastern Province U19 and the Free State Cheetahs U19 scored three tries apiece in their Round One match, which aren't included in the official logs.[110] Further tries by the Eastern Province U19 and Leopards U19 sides against the Sharks U19 are also not included.
