World & NZ Rugby Awards 2018

@stargazer plus it was done at the highest level, not against college kids.

[Stargazer]

@bones ?

Chris Hala'ufia is a college kid himself; he played against his peers, just like the other nominees. But yeah, not an international game, if that's what you mean.

@mn5 when did you do that?

Just now. She looks like Keven Mealamu.

Looking at the jerseys of those two Canterbury players, shows how hard it is to pay the ladies. Not one sponsor

But you don't know what Keven Mealamu looks like. And no, she doesn't.

Odd.

Should have been Bunting. BF7s performed better over the last few years.

No that odd given what his team finally achieved.

[Stargazer]

@antipodean It's not odd that he was nominated, but he wasn't the only one bringing a team back to the top, and winning back-to-back titles in Super Rugby should have topped it IMO.

Going back to back in Super Rugby has been done before. And given the shit state of the competition, I don't consider it that much of an achievement.

Now if Alama can't take credit because other people were involved, why should Razor?

I don't understand this comment. I didn't make, nor imply it.

Robertson changed the team from a team that couldn't win the SR competition for years, into a team that won it back-to-back in his first and second year as an SR coach. I rate Super Rugby higher than Mitre 10 Cup, so that's why I consider that a greater achievement. But having said that, I'm happy for Alama Ieremia, he did an awesome job with Auckland.
