Vodacom Blue Bulls and Springbok players Gurthrö Steenkamp and Francois Hougaard have been nominated as South African Player of the Year. The Bulls players were named alongside Western Province stars Juan de Jongh, Gio Aplon and Schalk Burger by SA Rugby, who for the first time, has invited the public to cast their vote as well.
Media polling closed on Wednesday to determine the five nominees and now members of the public can make their choice from the five with one lucky fan being randomly drawn to attend the Awards banquet as a guest of the Springbok Supporters’ Club.
