Springbok Rugby Stars Compete for Coveted Awards
Five members of the Rugby World Cup-winning Springbok squad in France, namely Pieter-Steph du Toit, Eben Etzebeth, Siya Kolisi, Frans Malherbe, and Damian Willemse, find themselves in contention for the highly sought-after SA Rugby Men’s Player of the Year Award for the year 2023.
The nominees, announced by SA Rugby towards the end of last year, were chosen through a voting process involving members of the media and key stakeholders within the governing body.
Etzebeth Aims to Defend Title
Eben Etzebeth, last season’s recipient of the top SA Rugby award, is set to defend his title.
All eyes are on him to once again secure the main prize, although stiff competition is expected from Kolisi and Du Toit, who claimed the Player of the Year Awards in 2021 and 2019, respectively.
The lineup also includes Bok scrum anchor Malherbe and Willemse, a previous nominee in the Young Player of the Year category and winner of the Youth Weeks Player of the Year Award in 2016.
