Brumbies and Wallabies back-rower Rob Valetini has been honoured with the Brett Robinson Players’ Player of the Year award as the Brumbies announced their award winners.

Valetini has had a dominant 2021 campaign, starting in every game for the club with the 24-year-old going on to lock down a spot in the Wallabies back-row.

He becomes the second youngest to win the award behind George Smith and was also named Member's Choice Player of the Year.

Henry Speight had won the award in 2017.

Valetini is expected to start for the Wallabies when they face the Springboks at 7.05pm Saturday.

Meanwhile, the All Blacks will play Argentina at 10.05pm Saturday.
