SA RUGBY UNDER-21 CUP

The Hollywoodbets Sharks were crowned the SA Rugby U21 Cup champions of 2025 after recording a big victory over the Fidelity ADT Lions in the Final in Durban on 18 October. In 2024, DHL Western Province successfully defended their title against the Lions - who eliminated WP in the one semi-final - in Johannesburg. The other teams who participated in 2025 were the Vodacom Bulls, who were knocked out in the semi-final by the eventual champions, as well as the Toyota Cheetahs, and Leopards.
