Nominees announced for 2022 ASB Rugby Awards
New Zealand Rugby’s (NZR) top performers of 2022 will be recognised at the ASB Rugby Awards, with nominees announced today.

@Bovidae What they didn't include in the list, but is mentioned in the text:
All teams in black that took the field in 2022 will be in the running for adidas New Zealand Team of the Year, and their respective coaches nominated for ASB New Zealand Coach of the Year.
Surely, the Black Ferns and Wayne Smith will take these awards home? The only team and coach that have actually won a big prize! Weird that the ABs and Foster are even in the running for this award. Must be an automatic nomination.

TJ Perenara (Ngāti Rangitihi / Te Arawa)
WTF? How on earth did he get a nomination for this award? He's been barely average for most of the year.

Ardie Savea (Hurricanes)And yet can't get more than 2 minutes on the field.
Only one of the AB players of the year nominees isn't playing more than 30 minutes in the coaches eyes too.

The other nominees are Ange Capuozzo and Damien Penaud.
But he didn't make the AI XV ?

@Bovidae I can see Demant getting it as she stood out in most games, I was pretty impressed with Fitzpatrick too, but would have no probs who is picked really . Who would of thought that we would have an awrd where Woodman wasn't nominated, just shows how much improvement there has been over the year.

Sean Stevenson would have been a decent pick as well, but I suppose he missed quite a lot of super with injury.. and you they probs don't really want to nominate a bloke who wasn't originally picked for AB XV then was their top player!
-
also a shameless proud son plug for my old man who's nominated in the volunteer of the year for about the 80th time.. never won it! Bloody deserves it the amount of shit he does is fecking ridiculous!
Charles Monro Rugby Volunteer of the Year
Cathy Charles (Otago)
Andrew Gemmell (Thames Valley)
Allen Grainger (Waikato) -
Grainger? I played a couple of years at Frankton, he was doing absolutely everything at the time I was there.
