Standard published on December 12, 2018

Pieter-Steph du Toit and Malcolm Marx are among the five nominees for the 2018 SA Rugby Player of the Year award.

The Springbok forwards – winners in 2017 (Marx) and 2016 (Du Toit) – are up against their national teammates Aphiwe Dyantyi, who won the World Rugby Breakthrough Player of the Year Award last month, Franco Mostert and Handré Pollard.

Marx is also up for Super Rugby Player of the Year, which he will also contest against current and former teammates Dyantyi and Mostert, who is now at Gloucester.
