@Bovidae said in NZ and World Rugby Awards 2024:
@Machpants Meaning he isn't a regular starter now. The other three are much further away from that status.
Started 9 of 14, I think, that's regular. And also started all the games directly after SR
But obviously if they played it would've been Cane, Ardie, and Beaudy 🙄

Yeah, I think it's rough to consider someone as foreign born if they're born in the UK as it's one political entity with freedom of movement.
Also, I assume foreign born for France doesn't include their overseas

@Duluth Great to see Hoskins Sotutu win Super Player of the Year and Wallace Sititi win All Blacks Player of the Year.
Who knows? Robertson might pick these two brilliant talents in the same XV in 2025.
Some bloody good work from you too @sparky, the broken record award is all yours

@MN5 gfy
Why don’t you whinge about Jordan at FB ? You might get a consolation prize
I wouldn't want to get the award handed to me with an open field and shoddy competitors.
