I think that’s the only thing he did put in the open all year aside from drop the ball a few times

Taniela Tupou because he's a tight head prop.

😬

Ball running.

Massively improved scrummaging that has turned our set piece into a weapon.

Furlong seems an obvious choice but I must admit that Tupou was very good this year. A close call between the two.
