Lebo Mogoma stole the hearts of the nation when a video shot by EWN showed him becoming emotional when the Springboks signed his rugby boots whilst they were on their Trophy Tour.

The highlight of the night was when Mogoma accompanied Siya Kolisi in accepting Cheslin Kolbe's award for Backline Player of the Year. Kolbe couldn't attend the ceremony having returned to his French Top 14 club, Toulouse.
