Here is our selection for standout players from semi final.

Liam Santos (FNB Wits)

The Wits loose forward played an integral role in a curial match. He scored two tries and led the forward pack well. Santos continued his prolific run with the side and will certainly be a player to watch in the final next week.

Ahlule Zokoza (FNB WSU) 

Ahlule Zokoza delivered a standout performance on the wing providing a constant attacking threat and finishing ability when it mattered most. His pace and awareness allowed him to exploit space out wide while his involvement in key attacking phases contributed significantly to WSU’s second-half resurgence. Zokoza’s impact in high-pressure moments particularly in the closing stages made him a decisive figure in WSU’s victory and a deserving FNB Player That Rocks.
