Five Springboks have been nominated for the prestigious SA Rugby Player of the Year Award for 2014 with one of Nizaam Carr, Marcell Coetzee, Willie le Roux, Handré Pollard or Duane Vermeulen in line to claim the coveted annual award for the first time in their careers.
The five players, who all played for the Boks this year, have been nominated by the South African rugby media following a stellar year on the field. Springbok rugby fans across the globe will now be given a voice in the selection of the winner, SARU announced on Friday.
The public will also be asked to cast their votes in two other categories, Young Player and the Absa Team of the Year. To cast your vote, CLICK HERE.
Carr and Pollard have also being named in the Young Player category, along with Cheslin Kolbe, Seabelo Senatla and Jan Serfontein. The Junior Springboks, Springboks, Springbok Sevens, DHL Western Province and Xerox Golden Lions have been nominated as Absa Team of the Year.
Public polling for the three awards will open on Friday 5 December 2014 with all the winners to be announced at a gala event on 8 February 2015 in Midrand.
The public can make their vote, which is powered by social marketing platform Spredfast, for the top awards on SARU’s website or by using (for example) #YPOTYNizaamCarr on Twitter*. Voting will also take place through SARU’s official digital Springbok Magazine, where subscribers can cast their votes.
Jurie Roux, SARU CEO said: “It is again very pleasing that we are able to give our rugby fans a voice in the game, and the SARU Player of the Year Awards is an ideal platform to do so. The last two years proved that supporters have strong opinions on who should win and that feedback was great, hence the decision to make the public part of the polling process again.
“The Awards are a highlight on the South African rugby calendar, and involving the fans and coaches more directly will no doubt add to the prestige of the event,” said Roux.
Media, coaches and players had a major say in determining the outstanding players of the season in a range of categories and competitions.
Other awards on the night include for the outstanding players in Vodacom Super Rugby, Absa Currie Cup Premier and First Division and Vodacom Cup competitions, as well as for the Absa Coach of the Year, SA Under-20 Player of the Year, Springbok Sevens Player of the Year, Women’s Achiever of the Year, SARPA Players’ Player of the Year, Supersport Try of the Year, Marriott Referee Award, Cell C Community Cup Player of the Tournament and Coca-Cola Craven Week Player of the Tournament.
The closing date for public voting is Friday 12 December 2014 at 14:00.
Too be fair to Carr, Kolbe and Senatla, they weren’t promised Bok colors if they signed at the Bulls at age 16…..so yes, it’s not comparing apples with apples 😆
@ nortie:
So how were their performances in a Bok jumper this year?
😆
29 @ gunther:
I was not surprised.
@ gunther:
I see you made it on youtube….
@ nortie:
Typical cops wasting taxpayers money.
Reminds me of someone.
😆
@ gunther:
Now now, don’t start acting like a little girl again 😆
@ nortie:
Still at least we’ve got another waste of space off the books.
😆
@ gunther:
Lucky you….now you can run out and buy the new Bull’s replica jersey with the tax money you will be saving.
🙄

I don’t really enjoy wearing

Quite frankly I’d rather spend it on remedial English for Hondkak than waste it on a profressional youtuber.

Ever since Jantjie got YPOTY when Lambie won the Currie Cup and got selected for the Springboks, SARU’s selections has been questionable.
Carr is 23 years old, in his third year of Super Rugby, actually he only started shining over everyone else during the Currie Cup.

Don’t worry, I get it…..you are still too attached to your pink jersey, so it’s too soon to buy a new one
@ MacroBok:
Is there an age bracket to be considered young player?
In SA you can be in your 30’s and still be considered part of the ANC “Youth League” 😉

It’s not the jersey, it’s the pink G-string with Bull ↑ and Horing ↓ printed on the front
And Dewani walks free.
But why am I not surprised?

State’s case was so full of holes, one could have sifted flour with it…. before the start of the trial already…
… and once again the Cops did not do their work properly…
I would have been surprized if Dewani did not walk free. He had a good advocate too, Van Zyl is an yster.
