Richie was absent from some of the springbok games i think??
he is probably the best player in the world, top 3 at least but i dont think he did much out of the ordinary
i would have thought it would go to someone who had an exceptional season, du preez had a good year
a lions series win, tri nations win including 3-0 against the All blacks in which he was dominant and influencial.
I suppose the fact that south africa had a pathetic end of year tour put the judges off, it is player of the year not player of most of the year, if you play rubbish for two months then what do you expect?
ps O’driscol is rather over rated in my opinion, he is very good but player of the year? to be fair i missed most of ireland games but still Player of the year ?? come on??
how about BAkkies he and matfeild won more all black line outs this year than the all blacks did?
