Another month, another potential accolade for the prodigious talent that is Feinberg-Mngomezulu. The 23-year-old is already dripping with nominations and accolades, the most recent being for the SA Rugby Men's and Young Player of the Year awards.
Feinberg-Mngomezulu is in esteemed company. Bordeaux's Louis Bielle-Biarrey can't stop scoring tries, having scored 18 across all competitions since September, while Thomas Ramos from Toulouse is the Champions Cup's top scorer.
The nominees were selected by a renowned judging panel following the conclusion of the pool stages of both the Champions Cup and the Challenge Cup.
Public voting for one of the most prestigious individual honours in world rugby is now open and will remain open until the end of the quarter-finals on Sunday, 12 April.
A shortlist of five players will then be determined through a combination of public votes and the judges' selections, before fans are invited to vote again to decide the 2026 Investec Player of the Year alongside the judges.

Alfie Barbeary (Bath Rugby)
