The SA Rugby Player of the Year awards for 2013 will only take place on 12 February 2014 which is quite a long time off. There is no award for the School Team or Schoolboy Rugby Player of the Year but hopefully SARU will continue with an award for the Craven Week Player of the Tournament award.
For this website, to pay tribute to the achievers of 2013, the awards are as follows:
School Rugby Team of the Year 2013
Affies and Paarl Gymnasium (shared)
Schoolboy Rugby Player of the Year 2013
Rikus Bothma and Jacques Vermeulen (shared both Paarl Gymnasium)

@PaarlBok: Ou Boksie, mag jy n vreedsame en genotvolle jaar beleef. Ek verneem, baie vertroulik natuurlik, dat daar n uitnodiging gerig was aan julle onder ouderdomspanne, om tydens WK te speel, maar dat julle dit van die hand gewys het. My vorige vraag in die verband , het jy gerieflikheidshalwe geignoreer. Enige rede vir julle weiering? Of is dit nog in die middel van julle netbalseisoen?
Grant Hermanus from Paarl Gim, the best player – by far having the most influence.
My team of the year – definitely EG Jansen. Perhaps not the best, but they impressed against top schools and made huge progress. Paarl Gim a close second.
Gedog Bog se grey?
Gim and Affies defo top 2 teams but based on the hammering Province gave the Bulls at CW, i would have to favour Gim as the number 1 side…
With regards to Bothma and Vermuelen, both had great seasons and are both great players, but my bet was Grant Hermanus who was solid and looks like a very talented player for the future
