Oyintando Maseti (FNB CPUT)
“The General” delivered a standout performance. His contributions included scoring a try, successfully converting five out of seven attempts, and adding nine points through penalty kicks, culminating in a personal tally of 24 points. Maseti’s exceptional playmaking abilities and leadership on the field were instrumental in CPUT’s commanding 49-24 victory. He earned the FNB Player That Rocks award for hi efforts.
Frederick Marx (FNB Varsity College)
Frederick Marx was super influential for his side especially in the second half. He was under pressure after they went into the break trailing 13-0 but he remained composed as the playmaker and led his side admirably. He converted all of his team’s tries in the second half and played a hand in orchestrating them with some great interlink play, and brilliant reading of the field.
Khanya Solani (FNB WSU)
For a second week running, Solani was by the best player for FNB WSU. He was dominant with his carries and played well on the base of the scrum. The Walter Sisulu skipper lead from the front, scroed , tackled well, had an impact on and off the ball to earn back-to-back FNB Player That Rocks.
De Wet Goedhals (FNB Madibaz)
FNB Madibaz lock De Wet Goedhals often flies under the radar but together with fellow second rower Calvin Bosch he was a colossus in the lineout, both on his own ball and FNB UWC’s. He made pivotal steals at the right time and gave his side plenty of go-forward in the loose.
