@W32 said in NZ and World Rugby Awards 2023:

Heard on a pod that no one from the French team or coaching team showed up at the awards presentation ?

Players are all back with their top 14 teams as games on yesterday so understandable. But coaches is very odd.

[mencey]

Well done Ardie.

Thoroughly deserved.

The man has been magical.

[Nepia]

@sparky Good to see they've sorted out this award and PSDT didn't win it based on the final.

I guess Carter only shone in the latter part of the sevens circuit, plenty more years left but he's a difference maker eh.
