Rugby's night of nights is here as the 2025 Rugby Australia Awards celebrate the best and brightest.
It's a stacked night of events celebrating all levels of the sport in what was a massive year for the sport.
Watch Australia A take on Japan XV this Saturday live and on-demand via Stan Sport.
Rob Valetini and Maya Stewart are the defending John Eales Medalists and Wallaroos Player of the Year, respectively.
However, injury-affected years for the pair means there will be at least one new winner this evening.
There are also the Shawn Mackay Awards, with the likes of Maddison Levi, Henry Hutchison and Henry Paterson out to add to their haul while Faith Nathan, Isabella Nasser and James Turner hunt for their first.
