@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.
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.
