UPDATE: VOTING HAS ENDED AS OF 1PM ON 23 APRIL.
On Friday 26 April we find out who will be crowned 2024 champions when FNB Tuks take on FNB Varsity College in the final and in the build-up we cast the spotlight on the players who had the most notable debut performances and are in the running to be named as the Suzuki Rookie of the Year.
To qualify as a rookie, a player must have made his debut in 2024 and not taken the field previously in a Varsity Shield game. The coaches of all 8 teams were asked to nominate the players who made the biggest impression in their debut this season and the three players with the most nominations are now being put to a public vote.
Here are the three players who received the most nominations from the coaches for the Suzuki Rookie of Varsity Shield 2024. The public can now cast their votes from Saturday 20 April until 1pm on Tuesday 23 April and the winners will be the players with the most votes at the deadline.
Vote below for the player you think is the most deserving of this year's Suzuki Rookie Of The Year award.
