Pieter-Stephdu Toit

Pieter-Steph du Toit gives South Africa a forward whose value covers multiple roles in the pack. For the national team he has 100 caps and 75 points, and his career path includes Natal Sharks and Sharks. He has twice taken the global men's player prize, alongside repeated South African recognition, a sign his influence reaches beyond his home country. That range gives South Africa a forward who can be picked in different roles.

His listed club is Toyota Verblitz, and the United Rugby Championship also appears in his competition data. The 2026 season is the current marker. He operates as a forward, with lock, flanker and number eight among his positions. In the pack he gives a squad options rather than a single fixed role, which keeps him useful in multiple forward slots. That flexibility is central to his standing now.
