[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 461978, member: 40658"] Well I can understand why there's no South Africans on the list, purely because our stalwarts only played 1 and a half tri-nations games and World Cup, so the Aussies and the All Blacks players had more games to get points and so on... But why isn't there any NH players on the list apart from Dusutoir that lead his team to World Cup final?? I'm sure there was a six nations tournament in 2011 or does all the adjudicators have long-term memory loss?? Seems to me the judges only used the world cup as judging platform, because Weepu didn't play a couple of tri-nations matches and from the list some guys don't deserve to be there... Kaino, yeah he's had a good World Cup; Genia, Meh: Pocock, probably the most deserving player on the list with Nonu a close 2nd... Just looks to me they took a bunch of names threw it into the hat and pulled names... none of us would have disagreed if guys like Francois Hougaard, Sam Warburton, Sean O'brien, Adam Kleeberger would have made the list... instead they picked guys out of the teams still left in the tournament, with 2 of those teams already losing 2 matches in the Tournament, which is more than other teams, and based on individual performance... some of these guys shouldn't be there [/QUOTE]
