Springbok veteran Eben Etzebeth was named SA Rugby’s Player of the Year for the second year in a row, a rare achievement in South African rugby history. Along with Etzebeth, Canan Moodie and Libbie Janse van Rensburg also secured repeated triumphs in the Young Player of the Year and Springbok Women and Provincial Player of the Year categories, respectively. The evening was filled with praise for the Springboks, Jacques Nienaber, and other notable players, as well as fans who honored Cheslin Kolbe for his memorable play in the RWC quarterfinal.
