Rising Springbok star Canan Moodie proved that he is not just a flash in the pan by winning a second SA Rugby Young Player of the Year award.
Moodie was once again head and shoulders above the chasing pack of players for the young player award.
Rising Springbok superstar Canan Moodie proved that he is not just a flash in the pan by following up his brilliant debut season in professional rugby with a second in a row to be crownedon the international scene with a scintillating debut try against Australia in Sydney in 2022, and has grown from strength to strength since then, and at the age of 21 became a World Cup winner with the Boks in France.
“I have to keep striving to be better every day, seeing where I can improve my game and try keep doing better and working harder.”When asked if this would be the second major award of many in what could become a glittering career if the already impressive utility back becomes one of the games greats, he admitted with a laugh that it would be nice if it was.
“I would hope so. You don’t play for awards, but it is sometimes nice to receive an award and recognition for your hard work. For all the countless hours you put in, the sacrifices you have to make to focus on your goals. To receive something that recognises that makes it worth it,” said Moodie.
