Here is our selection for the FNB Players That Impressed during round 6.

Tokelo Ntaopane (FNB CUT)

It’s hard to argue when a player scores a hat-trick of tries, as Tokelo Ntaopane did on Monday against FNB Wits. While it was a team effort, he also made a significant impact in open play and was a handful for the opposition. His defensive performance was solid as well.

Chyle van Zyl (FNB NWU Eagles)

Chyle van Zyl impressed with a standout performance, scoring three tries from lineout driving mauls. His powerful presence and consistency in the set pieces played a key role in securing the win for the FNB NWU Eagles.

Ntokozo Makhaza (FNB UCT Ikeys)

The FNB UCT winger was electric for his side in all facets of his game against the FNB UFS Shimlas. His goal kicking was once again superb in the windy Green Mile conditions, missing just two of his seven shots at goal. Ntokozo Makhaza put on a commanding display in both defense and attack, helping the hosts to an impressive 14-point win in what could prove to be their final home fixture of the campaign.

Jandre Burger (FNB UP-Tuks)

Flyhalf Jandre Burger was named FNB Player that Rocks for his excellent performance in helping the Stripe Generation hand FNB Maties their first defeat of the tournament. The Pretoria based side go top of the log and Burger excelled at goal-kicking, playmaking, and defense, contributing significantly to their victory and ending Maties' unbeaten streak.
