Ardie takes it.

I haven’t seen the others, team, coach, etc.

Congrats to Ardie, thoroughly deserved recognition of an outstanding year.

And all while playing out of his "best" position. Remarkable.

Not surprising this was the try of the year.

Step aside Christian Cullen

Those winners are all well deserved. Even the XV of the year.

No arguments with Savea from me, he's been the best 8 in the world for years.

That XV though :lol:
It must have been picked 6 weeks ago.

Slight anomoly,

How does Farrell get coach of the year with all those Irish in the best 15 doing another QF fail,

But RassNaber taking an apparent set of second stringers to the title is not the bigger achievement?

Good question. Did SA having two coaches split the vote? Looked like Erasmus had control of the traffic lights, but who knows.

It’s a brave man who employs that word in today’s nervous verbal environment

On the coach question, Ireland won 9/10 competitive matches over the course of the year whilst South Africa won 8/10 - quick Google, if I’ve counted incorrectly then apologies.

Ireland were no.1 in the world for 10 months.

Before anyone comes at me, I’m just surmising those are the reasons that Farrell won Coach of the Year.

We could argue that winning the RWC should count double, as it does in ranking points, but, meh.

Very happy for Ardie, he's been immense this past year. Can't complain with Farrel get COTY either, really like him as a coach and his record with Ireland is self-evident. Could not be bothered with the rest, but congratulations to all the other winners.

and I said on the Scottish Rugby thread, it was the second best try he scored in that match.
