Competition rules and information edit

There were seven participating teams in the 2015 Under-21 Provincial Championship Group A. These teams played each other twice over the course of the season, once at home and once away.

Teams received four points for a win and two points for a draw. Bonus points were awarded to teams that scored four or more tries in a game, as well as to teams that lost a match by seven points or less. Teams were ranked by log points, then points difference (points scored less points conceded).

The top four teams qualified for the title play-off semi-finals. The team that finished first had home advantage against the team that finished fourth, while the team that finished second had home advantage against the team that finished third. The final was played as a curtain raiser for the 2015 Currie Cup Premier Division final.

Notes edit

  1. ^ a b c d e 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.Scoreboard[2] The Final Score is given as 17–29 – which was also the result reported by the Golden Lions' official Twitter account[3] – 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. ^ On the SARU points scorer page, Arrie Vosloo's are split; some of them are listed against Jacobus Vosloo. This is due to duplicate player profiles existing for the player. These have been added together in this list.
