Five tries to two showed the dominance the Free State boys enjoyed over their KZN opponents and with a 20-11 lead at the break, they always looked like the most likely team to finish the week undefeated.

Their 19 tries were the most overall and the 127 points scored by the boys from Bloemfontein were also the highest, with the Leopards (123) the only other team to score more than 100 points over the three matches.

The Leopards had a 59-6 blowout in their final game against Limpopo, which helped them to get to the three-figure mark. Credit also to DHL Western Province XV, the only other team to finish the tournament without defeat.

Golden Lions flyhalf Vusi Moyo finished top points' scorer with 42, followed closely by Lorenzo Snyers (Leopards) on 39 points.
