@NTA said in World Rugby Player of the Year:
Will one game honestly change the decision given 50% of the nominees aren't involved in it?
Historically winning the MoTM in the final has been enough to win the title - Dusatoir in 2011, Carter in 2015 etc.
I would have thought a big performance by Farrell, Itoje, Underhill or Faf might have tipped the scales.

No Reece or Bridge, why do they only pick 3?
No idea, Ntamack - not like the other 2 have set the world on fire for meTry of the Year
CHARLES OLLIVON (FRANCE)
Wales were left reeling following an expression of French flair in their Rugby World Cup 2019 quarter-final against Les Bleus. Following a barnstorming break from Virimi Vakatawa, the centre offloaded to Romain Ntamack who in turn popped a pass to his half-back partner Antoine Dupont. The scrum-half drew a tackle from Liam Williams and haring up on his right shoulder was flanker Charles Ollivon, who cantered under the posts unopposed. C’est magnifique.SERGIO PARISSE (ITALY)
Italy captain Sergio Parisse’s importance to the Azzurri was highlighted against Russia as he began and finished this free-flowing move. Having claimed the lineout and delivered the ball safely to scrum-half Tito Tebaldi, some quick hands in midfield created the space for Jake Polledri to break through and take Italy deep into Russian territory. Tebaldi was on hand to continue the move and ship a pass out to Parisse who powered over the line.TJ PERENARA (NEW ZEALAND)
Playing in the unfamiliar role of fly-half against Namibia at Tokyo Stadium, TJ Perenara side-stepped Prince Gaoseb before racing into opposition territory and producing a stunning pass to George Bridge. Once play was recycled Rieko Ioane popped a pass to Brad Weber whose ridiculous offload found Perenara on the left wing. The All Blacks replacement set a course for the line, brushing off tackles from Obert Nortje and Helarius Kisting to touch down in the corner. Just.COBUS REINACH (SOUTH AFRICA)
Starting inside his own 22, South Africa fly-half Elton Jantjies produced an inch-perfect kick-pass for winger Warrick Gelant, who evaded DTH van der Merwe and sprinted into the Canadian half. Damian de Allende offered support to keep the move going and in turn spun a pass to scrum-half Cobus Reinach, who breezed under the posts to complete his hat-trick with barely 20 minutes of this RWC 2019 Pool B match played. -

(Kaino was robbed in 2011).
For sure, but POTY in a RWC favours 6N teams - because they get a 6N, plus warm up tests and then RWC.
That's a very good point, SH only get a truncated rugby championship in the calendar year of a world cup.

Will be Alun Wyn Jones, should be Faf De Klerk or Mako Vunipola.
Itoje should be on the list
-
Coach of the Year?
Should be Jamie Joseph by a bloody mile.

It's Tipex time
PSDT, SA, Erasmus, Ntamack, TJ try

I am going to say
Kolbe, Japan, Erasmus, Jantjies
Japan has to win either team or coach. I think they get team.
Personally I would like du Toit to win, but Kolbe deserves it no less
