The tournament was won by the SWD U21s; they beat the Limpopo Blue Bulls U19s 32–29 in the final played on 8 October 2015.

The 2015 season was the final season that smaller provincial unions will compete at Under-21 level; from 2016, the Under-19 and Under-21 championships will be merged into a single Under-20 Provincial Championship.[1]

Competition rules and information

There were eight participating teams in the 2015 Under-21 Provincial Championship Group B. These teams played each other once over the course of the season, either at home or 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 First Division final.

Notes
  1. The South African Rugby Union received a complaint from the Falcons that a number of players that were registered with their club sides played for the Pumas U21 side without obtaining the required clearing certificates from the Falcons. On 30 September, the Pumas were found guilty of breaching the SARU Player Movements regulations and they were deducted all 34 log points they gained during the competition and were fined R200,000, suspended for 12 months.[3]
