The best Springbok player of 2024 is set to be named at the annual SA Rugby Awards being held in Cape Town on Thursday night.
Pieter-Steph du Toit, Cheslin Kolbe, Eben Etzebeth, Ox Nche and Damian de Allende are up for the SA Rugby Player of the Year award.
They triumphed in the Rugby Championship, enjoyed a clean sweep on their Northern Hemisphere tour and started building towards the 2027 World Cup by playing 51 players over the season. Likewise with Kolbe and Nche who both had fantastic campaigns and would be deserving winners if given the nod.
