No Leinster or Munster winners pretty much means this thread is going nowhere fast

Thought they would have managed to squeeze in Rory Best somehow in spite of his recent injury.

I think the only award that is chosen by a "selection panel" is the Chairman's award; otherwise the rest are selection by peers or stat based.

Hard to argue that anyone else should *definitely* be picked ahead of those named really.

 

[The Seeker]

Congratulations to all the award winners! It's been a very entertaining season.

Most are stat based so was unlikely to feature any provincal player due to lack of appearances and rotation but most there deserved there recognition for fine seasons.
Mata is a worthy winner
