The Eastern Province U19 and U21s were both thrashed by Free State over the weekend, which saw them finishing last on their respective tables.

The EP U19s conceded 16 tries in a 96-7 hammering, while the U21s were beaten 85-29.

The U21s picked up just a single log point in six matches, with the U19s getting two.

EPRFU president André Rademan confirmed last weekend that efforts were being made to rectify the situation, with further meetings to be held in the coming weeks.
