[QUOTE="fcukernaut, post: 153852"] I've said it before and I'll say it again, Hernadez is a better fullback than he is a first-five. Certainly, I believe he should win this award but I still think he runs better when he has more space. Not to mention how comfortable he is under the high ball and his ability to counterattack. Another thing Hernandez has going for him is that this is his breakout season. This is the one where he gets to showcase his talent on the international stage. Richie McCaw has played at his outstanding rate, but he's also won the award recently, so I know that hurts his case. Contepomi is a very solid player, but best in the world? I certainly doubt that. Habana is largely an overated player. I don't think he's the best wing in the world and he can't really produce anything on his own. Don't get me wrong, he is a very good player but he doesn't deserve the award. Jauzion? I can't see a time when I could ever say that he is the best all around player in the world. So, in conclusion: Hernandez or McCaw, either one would be a fantastic pick, but I choose Hernandez as a reward not only for his play, but for the performance of Argentina. [/QUOTE]
