      Currently, Sexton is leading player of the decade over McCaw and DC 🤣🤣😅

        @taniwharugby newsflash: NH has bigger population than SH.

        Remember 2011? Dusatoir beat out Saint Jerome for POTY

          @nzzp Exactly, and the vote is tribal. It has nothing to do with the quality of the players.

          Rugbypass have a point, too:

            @nzzp oh I know, but Sexton?

            I'd vote Dusatoir before Sexton all day every day, probably several others I'd put on that list over him too (Burger, Du Plessis, Habana for SA alone)

            POTY is voted on by a panel of ex players isnt it, different to a fan vote which is always going to skew toward a large population base.

              @taniwharugby Sexton, pah.

              A classic system 10, coach probably gets more credit than he did 🙂

              Seriously, though, he was a limited but quality player. Did his job and got Ireland to no 1 in the world.

                If Sexton had any self-awareness he'd refuse the award and tell his fans to vote for the GOAT.

                  I will lose my shit if Sergio Parisse doesn't walk this. He's the greatest Rugby player that's ever played rugby.

                    There are some strange choices in each category. I voted for black of course. 😇

                      Voted GOAT for Player of the Decade. Voted Baker for the 7s player. Votes Portia Woodman in the omen's categories. Thought Chris Ashton's was the best try on that list.

                        Good player though he is, I wouldn’t have Sexton as even the best NH player of the decade.

                          Just to provide the visual stimulation some may need.

                            Maro Itoje is the best NH player of recent years by a country mile IMHO and he's still only 25.

                              Ashton's try was excellent, but BB's try was better IMHO. More interchanges

                                      Nonus try in the WC final must be up there and the Japanese try vs Boks for the win. Hard to pick a standout, Heaslips, BB and Hougaards stand out for me.
