These awards celebrate excellence and recognise the outstanding contributions of South Africa’s top rugby players across three categories: Men’s Fifteens, Springbok Sevens and Springbok Women.

Following a comprehensive evaluation process and in-depth discussions with player leadership groups, the professional players themselves have carefully selected the nominees.

This final list represents those who have demonstrated remarkable skill, dedication and impact on the field throughout the year.

The nominees for the Men’s Fifteens Players’ Player of the Year include World Rugby Awards 2024 honourees Cheslin Kolbe, Eben Etzebeth and winner Pieter-Steph du Toit, while Ox Nche and Damian De Allende complete the list.

For the Women’s Players’ Player of the Year, Vainah Ubisi, Libbie Janse van Rensburg, Ayanda Malinga and Nadine Roos have been nominated.

BlitzBoks captain Selvyn Davids, Ryan Oosthuizen and Quewin Nortje made the shortlist for the Men’s Sevens Players’ Player of the Year.
