[QUOTE="DuncTheDoodle, post: 282869"] Leaving the debate above for a moment, I feel O'Driscoll is the real forrunner, and who I'd give the award to, as the likes of Roberts, Du Preez, Styne and O'Connell have been good, but remember that O'Driscoll has only played in two losing games this year, and even in those two (The 2nd Lions test where they would have won if he hadn't been forced off, alongside Roberts and the props, and last week's defeat to London Irish, in which he almost dived over in the final minute.) he easily could have won. Leigh Halfpenny would be my outside bet, as he's had an amazing breakthrough season this year, marking himself down as one of the top international wingers in his first year of professional Rugby. Doubt he'll actually win it, but wouldn't be too suprised to see him as a nomination. Gethin Jenkins deserves to be in the frame as well- He hasn't won anything, (Besides the EDF Energy Cup, but that doesn't really count as anything.) but has always made the so-called 'Better Team's time rougher. No wonder the South Africans targeted him. [/QUOTE]
