Malcolm Marx wins SA Rugby Men’s Player of the Year Award

Springbok hooker Malcolm Marx capped off a fantastic 2025 season when he added the prestigious SA Rugby Men’s Player of the Year Award to his World Rugby Men’s 15’s Player of the Year accolade. 
Marx, who also won the award in 2017, came out on top against fellow finalists Pieter-Steph du Toit, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, Ox Nche, and Jasper Wiese. 
Rassie Erasmus and the Springboks were also honoured for a brilliant 2025 season, by taking the awards for Coach and Team of the Year after successfully defending the Castle Lager Rugby Championship title while winning 11 of their 13 tests.  
Nadine Roos achieved the double by being named SA Rugby Women’s Player of the Year for a second successive year at the SA Rugby Awards in Cape Town on Thursday night.
