FNB Varsity Shield Players That Impressed – Semi Final

The finalists of FNB Varsity Shield 2025 have been decided, with FNB Varsity College set to face FNB Madibaz on 11 April. The Comets who already secured automatic promotion beat FNB CPUT 52-17 in Durban North. Meanwhile, in Nelson Mandela Bay FNB Madibaz had an easy task cruising past FNB UWC 41-24 

Here is our selection for standout players from the semifinals.

Layron Milborrow (FNB Madibaz)

FNB Madibaz fullback Layron Milborrow proved to be the salt in the wound for FNB UWC with his 100 per cent kicking record. He has an enormous boot on him and his effort from the halfway line on the stroke of half time was a thing of beauty. Milborrow is not only in the team for kicking prowess though; he is a full-package player who runs with serious intent and links up with his teammates effortlessly. FNB UWC found that out in a big way.

Jacques Marais (FNB Varsity College)

After the Comets delivered a statement performance against FNB CPUT to book their place in the FNB Varsity Shield final, one man who was solid in all aspects of the game was Jacques Marais. Marais dotted down three tries and earned himself yet another FNB Player That Rocks award after his sterling performance. He is also the tournament's top try scorer and has been nominated for both the Overall FNB Player That Rocks as well the FNB Foward That Rocks honours.
