Pieter-Steph du Toit has become a World Rugby men’s 15s player of the year double winner after being crowned the top player for 2024 at Sunday night’s awards ceremony in Monaco. The Springboks flanker had previously won the award in 2019, the same year as his country’s Rugby World Cup final win in Japan.

Now, 13 months after South Africa successfully defended that title in France, du Toit has beaten off fellow countrymen Eben Etzebeth and Cheslin Kolbe, along with Ireland’s Caelan Doris, to the 2024 award.

The 32-year-old Springboks back-rower this year helped South Africa to win their first full Rugby Championship title since 2009. They then followed that achievement with an unbeaten Autumn Nations Series.

    Rassie Erasmus opens up on the Boks’ achievements in 2024

    Rassie Erasmus says his team’s achievements in 2024 is special after his internal conflict regarding employing a rotation policy.

    Du Toit featured twice this November, helping the Springboks to beat Scotland and England before flying home last Monday from the UK with the shoulder niggle that ruled him out of this weekend’s tour-ending game against Wales.

    That trip south was brief and du Toit was eventually set to be present in Monaco on Sunday night following a storm delay after his award was initially presented to his wife by Jonathan Webb, the former England full-back who this month became the new World Rugby vice-chair.

    It was the fourth time South Africa have won the men’s 15s player of the year. Aside from du Toit’s success in 2019, Schalk Burger and Bryan Habana were previous winners in 2004 and 2007 respectively.

    New Zealand’s Wallace Sititi was named 15s men’s breakthrough player of the year, while Nolann Le Garrec of France won the 15s men’s try of the year.

    English rugby's longest-serving ‘one club man’ prepares to bow out

    Investing €40,000 in cryptocurrency through Get Forex com seemed like a smart move until I tried to withdraw my funds At the time, cryptocurrency seemed like a golden opportunity to secure my financial future I had heard countless success stories of people making substantial profits in the market Confident in my decision, I invested, believing that I was making a well-informed choice But little did I know, this decision would lead me into a nightmare that would take months to unravel. For two agonizing months, my money was locked away. Every attempt to recover it was met with delays, excuses, and even demands for more money to "release" my withdrawal Each day felt like an emotional rollercoaster I would contact customer support, hoping for a resolution, only to receive vague responses or worse no response at all It soon became clear that I had fallen victim to a scam The platform had no intention of returning my funds I was devastated, confused, and feeling helpless. As the weeks dragged on, I tried everything I contacted customer support multiple times, but their responses were always vague and unhelpful I followed their unclear instructions, hoping that it would finally lead to my money being released I even researched legal options and consulted with professionals, but no matter what I did, I was unable to make any progress It was as if the scammers were one step ahead at all times My frustration grew, and the thought that I might never see my €40,000 again weighed heavily on me. Just when I thought my money was gone forever, a friend who had experienced something similar recommended Tech Cyber Force Recovery. At that point, I was skeptical but also desperate. I had tried everything, and nothing had worked. What did I have to lose? I decided to give them a chance, though I had serious doubts about whether they could help me recover my funds. To my amazement, Tech Cyber Force Recovery acted swiftly and professionally, Their team launched a thorough investigation, keeping me updated at every step of the process They communicated transparently and regularly, making sure I was never left in the dark Within just five days, they successfully recovered my full €40,000 I couldn’t believe it after months of frustration, what had seemed impossible became reality The relief I felt was indescribable I could finally breathe again.
