World & NZ Rugby Awards 2018

[Billy Tell]

Haven’t looked at the list but I imagine the awards will go to the rowers, no?

[Bovidae]

Are they not reducing the number of final nominees anymore?

Olympic success is usually important so the Winter Olympians should be in with a good chance in their categories. World Championship success should outweigh the Commonwealth Games.

[Billy Tell]

Does anyone else feel there are not enough nominations?

[Stargazer]

IMO Kelly Brazier should have won it.

@stargazer yeah that was a try that really meant something, too

[Stargazer]

[Stargazer]

Hmmm, don't agree with this one either.

Risi Pouri-Lane won two international gold medals this year, one as captain of the U18 Baby Ferns at the Youth Olympics.

[Machpants]

@stargazer at least we can all agree on Kevie, Waka, and Fiao'o!

Jesus Christ. I can't tell which one is which

[Stargazer]

Well-deserved, but TJ Faiane was equally deserving IMO.

@mn5 quelle surprise, you can't identify rugby players.

[Bones]

@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.

Apologies bro. Didn't mean to have a go at your Mrs.

[Bones]

@mn5 when did you do that?
