@KiwiMurph said in NZ and World Rugby Awards 2020:

Pleased to see Fakatava win - thought the points system was going to hurt him (i.e. Dixon taking points off of him).

i think it's hilarious it went to a reserve grade player

are they not an actual awards ceremony or are all the award winners sprinting up to get thier award and going straight back to thier seats?

@taniwharugby There doesn't seem to be a real ceremony, this year. Just reading up a list of winners, and talking with a few of them.

I can't believe Aaron Smith didn't win this one!

Ah, 2020. Even the rugby awards gives you unexpected winners.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae As far as players are concerned, I only think Sam Cane is a real surprise. For both awards.

[Canes4life]

They spelt Sam Whitelock wrong. Seriously though Cane was solid but he wasn’t the player of the year. Whitelock or Smith for me.

[Bovidae]

@Stargazer I have no problem with Cane winning the AB player of the year. Our MOTM polls probably reflect that.

In other categories, I would have chosen some different winners.
