FOUR SPRINGBOKS NOMINATED FOR WORLD RUGBY AWARDS
The Springboks have had a phenomenal 2023 and 2024 has been just as great. Now, four Springboks are set to end the year on a high.
Cheslin Kolbe, Eben Etzebeth, Pieter-Steph du Toit, and Sache Feinberg-Mngomezulu have been nominated for the 2024 World Rugby Awards.
Etzebeth, Kolbe and du Toit have been nominated for the Men’s 15s Player of the Year awards, while Feinberg-Mngomezulu has been nominated in the Men’s 15s Breakthrough Player of the Year category.
In a statement, SA Rugby president Mark Alexander said they’re very proud of the players.
“Having Springboks players feature in two categories is a testament to their hard work and dedication to the team and South Africa, and we are very proud of them. Each one of the Springbok players has shone out this season, and given the quality of the Springbok squad Rassie Erasmus has been building.”
Alexander said, “they all deserve this recognition, and we wish them luck for the awards ceremony in Monaco”.
The World Rugby Awards takes place on Sunday 24 November in Monaco.
