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. 2015 Under-21 Provincial Championship Group A standings Pos Team P W D L PF PA PD TF TA TB LB Pts 1 Western Province U21 12 10 1 1 451 267 +184 59 36 9 1 52 2 Free State U21 12 8 1 3 475 265 +210 68 35 9 2 45 3 Sharks U21 12 7 1 4 323 316 +7 39 43 6 1 37 4 Golden Lions U21 12 6 0 6 411 284 +127 56 36 7 4 35 5 Blue Bulls U21 12 6 1 5 353 376 −23 49 47 7 1 34 6 Leopards U21 12 2 0 10 262 501 −239 37 71 4 0 12 7 Eastern Province U21 12 1 0 11 208 474 −266 28 68 1 0 5 Legend and competition rules Legend: The top four teams qualified to the semi-finals.
