[QUOTE="Jer1cho, post: 461979, member: 32618"] He has been good, but not as good as Warburton, Pocock, or Sean O Brian in my opinion. Kaino did nothing special in the Super 15 for me either. I can see why you compare him to Smith though. Very similar players. I'm quite sad Victor Matfield wasn't nominated in his last year. The greatest line out specialist the game has ever seen, yet he has never won this award. When Fourie du Preez and Brian O Driscoll lost out to McCaw in 2009 though, was when I officially wrote off any worth that this award has anyway. I really can't understand how Weepu is there. In the 30 minutes a game that Bismark does play for the Springboks, he makes a bigger impact than any other player in the world on the game. I really would have had him on that list ahead of Weepu. Might just be my Springbok bias. Anyway, as long as a Wallacheat doesn't win, then congrats to whoever takes it! [/QUOTE]
