This year, the B-Factor is the buzz for the SA Rugby Awards. Heinrich Brüssouw and a host of Bulls players and Bokke players dominate the Nominations.
Heinrich Brüssow, one of the stars of the 2009 season, has been nominated 5 times and heads the list of nominees with three of his Springbok team-mates for awards to be made at the SA Rugby Player of the Year banquet which will take place at a glittering event at Vodaworld, Midrand, on Monday, November 2.
Apart from Brüssow, Fourie du Preez (4), Springbok captain John Smit (3) and Morné Steyn (3) have also been nominated for multiple awards.
In addition, Peter De Villiers and Paul Treu, the 2 National coaches of the 15-man and 7-man codes respectively, are rewarded as nominees for coach of the year.
It will be difficult to decide some of the winners in the categories, for instance, as Teams of the year there is the triumphant Super 14 winners, The Bulls, but also the Springboks, who won both the B & I Lions Tour and the Tri-Nations.
All the nominees are carefully chosen and deserve their honours.

@Ed_the_Lion – 3/4
Ag wat, ons sal by ons span staan – Go LIONS!! Ek dink hulle het die jaar terug gehou, kyk maar vlg jaar die lysie…….LOL
7@Mr-T – Niemand hier sal stry as ons sê, die Leeus gaan volgende jaar gevaarlik wees nie. Mense kon dit sê terwyl Manie president was en Loffie coach. Nou is Kevin in beheer en dinge gebeur. HKG :poop:
9@Ed_the_Lion – ek stry nie, met HM en die Bulle se B-span daar, gaan dit vir my lekker wees om op Loftus en Cokepark rugby te kyk.
6@Mr-T – Flok, dit was die dik vinges se skuld… hahaha
Waar is al die mense ? Lyk my almal het so baie :poop: gepraat, hul sukkel nou nog om daar uit te kom ?
9@bdb – Kan ons jou maar BDL nou begin noem?
@grootblousmile – Werk tot jou voordeel soms. 🙂
12@Ed_the_Lion – net as die Blou Leeus wen !
Het na die WP span gekyk, wie is Paul Bosch ? Familie van Gerald Bosch ?
Drie van die jaar is Jaque Fourie, 2de toets teen die Leeus. Die Fabian Juries drie het geen impak op enige uitslag gehad nie. Die 2de keuse is Bryan Habana, dit was die begin van die omkeer.
@grootblousmile – Hellooooo….you there?
16@carol – No, I’m not here… hiehie
14@bdb –
Eers vir juniort Bulle gespeel, toe Pukke, toe WP…ken hom nie. Nog net een CC game gespeel. Pietman se daar is klip van hom op youtube toe die WP teen Boland gespeel het.
15@dWeePer –
Moet se, ek sal Juries die toekenning gee. Sy drie was uitstekend. Dit gaan nie vir my oor of dit n invloed op die uitslag gehad het nie. Dis DRIE van die jaar, en as jy al die driee vergelyk was syne die beste.
@grootblousmile – What else do I say? “Is there anybody there?
Then that sounds as though I am trying to summon a spirit!! :ghost: 😀
@Supa Die Bloubul – Hiyas Supa, did you have a beautiful day in the smoke today? 😎
@grootblousmile – Have you skyped from your new notebook yet?
20@carol – Tomorrow I’m going to make these smileys bigger… eishhhhhhh my eyes are super-kak !

22@carol – Nope, not yet
The name De Wet Barry, is his name “De” ?
@carol –
Hi Carol! Were in the office the whole day…didnt notice anything!
Did you see the Baabaas players we are gonna watch? Matfield, Bakkies, Habana, FDP, Gitay, Mortlock, Hernandez, Evans etc. I cant wait!
@grootblousmile – 23 you could always put your glasses on!! :chic: You look cute in them!
26@carol – No… De Wet
De Wet is actually a surname…. so he’s got a surname as a name and a name as a surname, if you understand what I mean….
18 @Supa Die Bloubul – WP waag met ‘n nuwe man op binnesenter, so dit kan reg of weg wees.
As ek so na die WP span kyk, dan kan ek nie sien dat hulle ons kan wen nie, AS altwee spanne volgens hul volle potensiaal speel. Tuisveldvoordeel en die hop van die bal is maar altyd faktore om in ag te neem, asook die ref se interpretasies. In ‘n semi kan enigiets werklik gebeur.
Hoop net nie die bulle raak oorgerus nie, dit kan hul kelder. Dit gaan verseker taai wees tot die einde toe.
