The much-garlanded Eben Etzebeth has marked his return to South Africa by being voted SA Rugby’s Player of the Year for 2022.
Etzebeth, a veteran of 110 Tests, earned the award on the back of excellent performances and his consistency playing in each of the Springboks' 13 Tests last year.
Many South Africans felt aggrieved that Etzebeth did not crack the nod for a nomination in World Rugby's Player of the Year Awards last year but this accolade recognises his toil throughout 2022.Eben has been a Springbok stalwart for more than a decade and it’s just amazing to see how he keeps getting better with age, playing with maturity and providing valuable leadership to the Springboks,” South African Rugby president Mark Alexander said.
