Hard to say if he is even the best player in his position imo. He certainly has had a superb introduction to international rugby. Although i think Matfield and Du Preez will be nominated ahead of him for IRB player of the year. I predict Matfield to take the ***le this year.
Yeah, like Rocky Elson was last month...Heinrich Brussow, as been good in the last few games, but he isn't "the best player in the world"...I can't say that a player who has started less matches then I can count on one hand has earned the right to have that ***le. He is flavour of the month in my opinion, though I can certainly see he has potential to be a good player.
I'd have to say it's gotta be Matfield at the moment because he's shown great leadership as has Jon Smit over a very long period of time and there's just no substitute for that.
