[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 919220, member: 65365"] As TobyBeastTeague mentioned, they only take internationals into account. If they didn't (but I think it's right that they do) I wonder if Carl Hayman might have given the prop brigade a chance of winning at some point during his French tenure? A question to those who watch french domestic rugby, because I never did, I just know that he was one of the best players in the world before he left to France. On the point of only basing it on Internationals, this is an absolutely critical point, as there is a massive difference between internationals and the next level. if you look at last year, Crusaders vs Lions game, Mo'unga was ineffective. Mo'unga that year, as with this, was ridiculously dominant at super level. That's just one example. And all New Zealanders know about Caleb Ralph. Jonno gibbes one year was potentially the best super rugby player, but wasn't as effective at test level. Quade cooper. I could do this all day. Point is you can't judge how good someone is at a lower level of competition. [/QUOTE]
