[QUOTE="King_D'Arcy, post: 291891"] <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (C A Iversen @ Dec 5 2009, 12:39 PM) [url='index.php?act=findpost&pid=425423']<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/url]</div> Can I ask for the links of these please? I know what is said now is academic because the award is sitting pretty in McCaw's bar but I found on multiple rugby sites and forums (especially) most people were caught by surprise. So I just wanna see the other side of the rugby opinion. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (C A Iversen @ Dec 2 2009, 12:08 AM) [url='index.php?act=findpost&pid=424798']<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/url]</div> But in the same breathe NZ'ers rubbish the decision of this "expert panel" because Shane Williams won it last year?
