That Wales try is fine, but is it really a top 5 try in the world for the year???

against the WORLD CHAMPION SPRINGBOKS and beating Am, who is on top of the world this year.

This is all small fry compared to the major outrage here.

21 years or these men's awards and there has never been a single nomination for a prop. If that's not discrimination against our bigger boned brethren, I don't know what is.

0/109 nominations for props 2001-2022
Prop = 0
Hooker = 5
Lock = 10
Flanker = 25
No 8 = 10
Scrum-half = 11
Fly-half = 19
Centre = 14
Wing = 9
Fullback = 6

RedBeard! Nice to see you back mate!!

Can't be Redbeard. He lumped in "Prop" as one position.

@Daffy-Jaffy hah I was gonna say I thought Arundell was an odd call - the try was a cracker though.

I’ve not seen a line out maul try nominated for Try of the Year either.
Funny how WR want to hand out awards for exciting running rugby scores yet run the game so that the most productive scoring option is from a maul.

Lol what a complete joke these Awards are.

These awards should be fan voted, too much Northern bias.

[Stargazer]

@Canes4life With fan votes you get even more Northern bias, if only because there'd be many more people voting from the NH. Fan voting is per definition biased and if there's more than one player from a country, that would split the votes, too, and possibly result in a player from another country winning.
