Nominations out. Props aren't rugby players apparently but I agree otherwise.

Any of those South Africans are deserving of POTY. Doris played himself out of the running v NZ and in the second half last week but still worthy of a nomination.

Sititi or IFW ahead of the other deserving candidates.

Gotta be Sititi - IFW has been really good but Sititi is just ridiculous

Dupont is a machine. "I'll do a Year in 7s and be a POTY there too sure"

 

[AlRums]

Dupont is a machine. "I'll do a Year in 7s and be a POTY there too sure"

And win an Olympic gold medal.

Ox has been the best and most consistent Bok all year.

And unlike his compatriots, he is peerless. There is no one in world rugby close to him at loose head right now.

I think PSDT should get player of the year - and as much as I'd love to say IFW should win breakthrough player of the year, you just can't look past Sititi. I thought he was a good player in Super Rugby but he's gone up a level in the Black Jersey. Barring injury he's nailed on for 100 caps.

I'd say Porter was probably Ireland's best player ahead of Doris this year too. A prop has never been nominated and when you think of some of the guys SA and NZ have had as well and Furlong at his best it's so wrong.

Feel like world rugby regularly undermines the game's legitimacy in favour of highlight reel stuff in an attempt to get eyes on the sport. And then don't do near enough to tap into upcoming tier 2 / 3 sides for new markets.

Fair about Furlong by the way

Gotta be Sititi - IFW has been really good but Sititi is just ridiculous

Can't argue with that

would have been my pick too. tupou vaai has also been very good. A ridiculous amount of defensive lineout steals. But set piece doesn't matter apparently.

 

[Umaga's Witness]

Does anyone know when the year starts and ends for these things?

Pieter-Steph du Toit and Ellie Kildunne win World Rugby player of the year awards

England full-back Ellie Kildunne wins World Rugby's women's player of the year award, while South Africa's Pieter-Steph du-Toit takes the men's award.

Du Toit wins for the second time.

PSDT with POTY, Sititi breakout.

Dupont 7s would you believe?!

Think it's all fair. Anyone in there was very good for at least two of the three test windows

 

[TRF_Olyy]

No England players?
Rigged

Noticing the Rassie snub and it's quite funny. Doubt he cares one bit and knows he made his bed in 2021.
