Top honors go to Fourie du Preez for the second time in his career, joining a small elite group led by Naas Botha(4), who won this award more than once.
Du Preez – who won the award for the first time in 2006 – claimed the Super 14 and Currie Cup titles with his province as well as helping the Springboks to the No 1 world ranking in conjunction with the Tri-Nations title and victory in the 2009 Lions Series.

Boerboel #56 Tikprobleme: Potgieter moet wees Stegman.
62@Boerboel – Die kere wat ons verloor het het Stegmann nie gestart nie (Was uit met ‘n ban, en het een van die bench af gekom).
Lions Series Provincial Player….. Heinrich Brussow
BDB #60 Ek hoop hulle sluit Vermeulen in en erken sy goeie spel. Indien nie moet dit beslis Dewald Potgieter wees. Net nie fkn Dinosaurus!!! Asb.
65: Ja, sal seker Dewald wees of Kanko. Danie sal sub wees vir slotte, hoop net nie daai useless Bekker nie.
vanStraaten #62 Potgieter speel elke game beter as Stegmann so op grond waarvan verdien Stegmann enigiets? En hierdie keer het ek die name wat ek tik nagegaan!!
Kanko sal nou agsteman speel, hy was deel van die span vir lank nou, so hy moet nou maar die plek inneem.
Lions Series Playe of the Series in Tests….. Morne Steyn
Are there ANY surprises here?……..No !!
OK, are any players wearing terrible clothes or suporting bad hairstyles?
Is there an ugly wife or GF ?…….I doubt it !!
Mapoe as young player en FDP as player, raai ek.
SA Young Rugby Player of the year…… Heinrich Brussow
Brussow young player of the year, a no-brainer! Congratulations
As morne beste S14 en Lions speler is, dan moet hy mos die beste van die jaar wees. Veral omdat mense se hy sou Tri nations speler van die jaar ook gewees het.
73 – There is justice in South Africa tonight!! 😉
Would’ve gone with Brussow as Lion’s Test player of the year. Morne Steyn didn’t do much in the first test when he came on for Pienaar after the game was already won, Kicked a few (which includes the important penalty kick) in the second test, and was poor in the third test. Defense wasn’t that great against the Lions. He wasn’t getting the backline on the front-foot. Brussow however had great games against the Lions (Third test wasn’t that good, but he was awesome in the first two tests.)
Well in some parts of it…..
BDB # Wat is useless aan Bekker?
Actually I will say no more incase that is considered political in some way…….
Geluk Brussow !
SA Players Player of the year, voted by his peers….. Morne Steyn
Is this a glittering occasion or just a few blokes in a TV studio?
Paint me a picture ! 🙂
78: wat is verkeerd met Danie ? 😉
Carol #77 It will take you a loooong time to understand SA dynamics, let alone rugby dynamics!!You had a partial lesson with Grant.
Morne maak skoonskip……..
Morne verdien dit!!!
84 – Yip, I slipped up big time somehow there….. ;-(
I am as subtle as a sledge hammer sometimes, quite unintentional……
Sorry 87 was to Boerboel –
Carol #87 😉
