Hanekom and Louw take home the booty at Bulls player awards
Cameron Hanekom and Wilco Louw were the big winners at the Vodacom Bulls Player Awards held in Pretoria on Wednesday evening.
On a dazzling night when players swapped rugby gear for glam, it was celebration all round as Hanekom, the Vodacom Bulls No 8, was named Fans Player of the Year, Investec Champions Cup Forward of the Year, Investec Champions Cup Player of the Year and Vodacom United Rugby Championship Forward of the Year, an extraordinary sweep by one of the team's most outstanding players.
Louw, meanwhile, was rewarded for his heroic front row efforts by being named Vodacom Bulls United Rugby Championship Player of the Year and winning the Vodacom Bulls Senior MVP award.
Sizophila Solontsi, who travels with the South African squad to the Rugby World Cup tomorrow, was named Isuzu Bulls Daisies Players Player of the Year and MVP.
Jannes Kirsten cracked the nod as Vodacom Bulls Carling Currie Cup Player of the Year, while Canan Moodie took home the Investec Champions Cup Back of the Year award.
In most cases, awards were determined by coaching staff and management, while players themselves voted for players' player awards. Additionally, the fan awards were adjudicated by Vodacom.
