[QUOTE="An Tarbh, post: 259851"] I think O'Driscoll's form in some of the pool games in the HEC gives him the edge on top of his 6N performances. Heaslip only started playing well in the final pool match, timed it well though in fairness. Bowe and Ferris have had massive seasons and deserve their nominations as well and we couldn't have had any complaints had POC been included. O'Driscoll's try against Wasps, presumably the one with the fly hack was quality but Heaslip's try against France was as good as we've scored in the last decade, definitely up there with Dempsey's try at Twickenham in 2004. Surprised though that Earl's try against the Dragons with the amazing pick up wasn't included though, they could easily have had 5 in each cateogory this year. Best certainly wouldn't be undeserving of the unsung category given his leadership role within the Irish setup and how that goes virtually unnoticed, think his presence may well be missed by the Lions Irish contingent. Earls will get the young player of the year but the progress of the other 2 is great for the future of Irish rugby, we've some competition in the centre now should anything happen to BOD. [/QUOTE]
