[QUOTE="Gay-Guy, post: 230819"] <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div> Good on him.  Wales really made their mark by going unbeaten in the 6N...congrats to them! :bravo: Losing three times to South Africa and once to New Zealand must have been overlooked. Obviously when voting they didn't take into account that one game he had against wingers who are more than his match...Roko and Sivi. I think it should have been Dan Carter.....steered the Crusaders to yet another yawning ***le...steered the AB's to yet another Tri Nations (less of a yawn)....quelled the usually scary Wallabies in the Bledisloe...and is on the verge of a Grand Slam against the home nations.  After putting Shane and the Welsh to sleep in the second half last week Carter must have also put the panel choosing the IRB POTY to sleep as it looks like they mistook the identity of Shane Williams who missed the tackle on Mealamu for the AB's first try.  Well we could also argue that McCaw did EXACTLY the same thing as Carter....and even more considering McCaw is the captain of Carter and the teams Carter plays in. I suppose for the good of the game it is better to choose a different player each year...even if the player himself knows he didn't deserve it. [/QUOTE]
