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.

83@WPForever – Hello stranger…. fark, you’re scarse!
Smileys are GONE !!
No more smileys, it interferes with load speeds here !!
@grootblousmile –
More, jy nog wakker?
86@Pietman – Yip
@grootblousmile –
En ek staan al weer op, son sit al hoog hier!
88@Pietman – Ek het met die site gesukkel, was moer stadig… en ons webhost fok nog steeds met ons spoed rond.
Sal maar moet skuiwe na ‘n ander webhost… maar ons webadres behou…
Sodra ons baie traffic generate, trigger dit ‘n flippen system daar by die huidige host (CPU Throttling) wat ons voet van die petrol afhaal en ons spoed in sy moer in stuur.
Ek het die donners nou al so gevloek, hulle wil net ons geld teruggee wanneer ons ‘n toontjie klap na ‘n ander host toe.
Die ding is, ons kan nie bekostig om stadig te word wanneer ons besig raak nie, dit werk nie so nie, my flok!
Nouja, laat ek gaan slaap, die bietjie van die nag wat nog oor is………. eishhhhhhhh
