That is amazingly crap journalism.
Instead, there was no awkwardness after the dessert plates were cleared away at what appeared to be a typically glittering World Rugby extravaganza in Monte Carlo, with Sexton chosen ahead of his fellow No 10s Farrell and Beauden Barrett, halfback Faf de Klerk, hooker Malcolm Marx, and wing Rieko Ioane.
Farrell was not nominated for WR Player of the Year.
Get your facts straight Patrick...

That really is a tawdry piece of writing. To run such a shitty headline under a player who has nothing to do with the action complained about and implicate him in some way is just shit.
They've now amended it to read:
*"Stand up Johnny Sexton, World Rugby's player of the year, a victory not only for himself and Ireland but also World Rugby who might have breathed a sigh of relief that Owen Farrell, who has escaped sanction for two recent acts of foul play, hadn't won a nomination.Instead, there was no awkwardness after the dessert plates were cleared away at what appeared to be a typically glittering World Rugby extravaganza in Monte Carlo, with Sexton chosen ahead of his fellow No 10 Beauden Barrett, halfback Faf de Klerk, hooker Malcolm Marx, and wing Rieko Ioane."*
He makes a central mistake in the hook for the story and is now trying to continue with it based on it would have been embarrassing if Farrell had been nominated.

Unbelievable - not a single nomination for Joe Schmidt or Jacob Stockdale...

@bovidae Obviously BBBR's try didn't get enough votes. I expect Kelly Brazier's awesome try will win; it was the gold medal winner(CommonWealth Games) and absolutely brilliant.
Don't think the ABs will win this year, and they don't deserve to. Black Ferns 7s should get the NZ team of the year award. Crusaders probably the National team of the year award, although Thames Valley makes a good chance, too.

It should be the easy winner.
Obviously there must have been an online vote at some stage.
While I don't take these awards too seriously I am puzzled with some of the selections. Christie as one of the age group players is taking the piss.

Agree 100%. IMO Devan Flanders should have been nominated instead.
