The nominees for the prestigious World Rugby awards have been announced, with winners to be announced in Monaco.
Cheslin Kolbe is among four Springboks recognised for their impressive and consistent performances during the 2024 season after being nominated for the World Rugby awards.
Nominated for the prestigious Men’s 15s Player of the Year are South Africa’s most capped player of all time, Eben Etzebeth – who broke fellow lock Victor Matfield’s record of 127 Test matches in September – Kolbe and Pieter-Steph du Toit , a former winner of the award. The Bok trio are up against Caelan Doris of Ireland.
Rassie Erasmus is proud of the nominated Bok players and said: “Congratulations to the players for being nominated and making their mark on the biggest stage in rugby this season. Making their nominations even more remarkable is that most of them have won two Rugby World Cup titles already and that they have continued to deliver the high standards we expect at the Springboks over several years.
