The clinic was the third regional assessment, with selectors carefully evaluating the young players as the different regions competed against one another. Those selected will form part of the Red Squad, a high-performance squad that will work with provincial coaches as the young players continue developing their rugby skills.

The names of the selected players will be announced by the Golden Lions on their media pages in due course.
