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.

Hi Karlien Cotswolds, Mrs Chippin Norton 2006… concentrating on the TV whilst blogging on the Notebook
Hoe wen jy speler van die jaar in twee van die grootste reekse in die jaar, en stel rekords op in die derde grote, en wen dan nie rugbyspeler van die jaar algeheel nie?
Snoek as daar gedeel kon word sou Fourie du Preez meer gehad het. Maar eerlik SA het baie goeie spelers gehad die jaar maar die 3 top guns was Morne, FdP en Heinrich.
It is good that players get due recognition for their extraordinary performances!
Well done to FdP on player of the year. Well deserved.
WELL DONE TO OUR BOKKE FOR TEAM OF THE YEAR…
GO BOKKE END THIS YEAR ON A HIGH WIN ALL YOUR TESTS.
GOOD LUCK TO OUR BELOVED BOKS ON THEIR EOYT.
98 – Stem, daai drie was fantasties. En moenie my verkeerd verstaan nie, ek dink FDP verdien dit, hy is konstant die beste in sy posisie vir ‘n lang tyd nou. Dis net snaaks dat hy bo Morne gekies is, as hulle reken Morne was die beste in twee kompetisies.
Persoonlik sou ek S14 vir Olivier gegee het.
96 GBS – 😉 Phew, I am rubbish at sulking!!
Geluk GBS, jy het 5000 posts oorskry.
Anyway, cheers almal, en weereens baie geluk aan aldie wenners.
104@ Snoek – Damn… over 5000 comments from me… fanks for the congrats
OK, congratulations again to everyone winning an award!! I’m out. Good night.
