TBH given how utterly meaningless these awards are it would have been nice to give Fiji something.

7s is barely rugby

@mariner4life What a nonsense. It's just another form of rugby, requiring somewhat different skill sets and physical preparation. Good for tournaments, not for competitions.

Jonah was interviewed back in the day and said he liked Sevens cos there was more space but you could still smash people. That holds more sway than anything you can broach on the subject Stargazer....
Sniff......
I miss Jonah

How about a gold medal in the Olympic Games? Would that suffice as sufficient reward for the outstanding Fiji Sevens team?
The party and celebration for that gold medal will linger on for ever.
If you need to receive some meaningless award from the top to celebrate your year on top of your gold medal, then I strongly suspect the issue lies with you, not World Rugby.

i know fiji won gold.. but the all blacks just broke a new record amongst t1 nations.. sevens gold will be won every 4 years.. 18 in a row is a rare..
not to mention the abs got a full sweep with maximum points in the tri nations..thats the only reason why i think the ABs got it over Fiji
-
@mimic The All Blacks won every single game & tournament for which the voting period encompassed. Fiji won 4 of 11. Hell, England won everything as well, so Fiji are arguably only third.
There is argument for Ben Ryan, although can you imagine the racism complaints if the only non-Fijian in the squad was to win something when the rest didn't?
I do agree with Kolinisau for sevens player.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

@booboo no, that's who i thought you meant, but i knew he was in there, hence my confusion
I forgot to allow for your retardedness, that was my error

@mariner4life @booboo think you guys would have been in QLD long enough to get a handle on the 6-fingered keyboard by now

Big year for Rieko Ioane.
Pheew, you spelt his name correct. It's the height of disrespect to not spell his name right
