4. Eben Etzebeth for his cloak of immunity. Joke apart, he is a monster of the game. Scott Barrett is just bubbling under. He was one of the best All Blacks all year long, fading a bit during the RWC final, unfortunately.
5. Brodie Retallick. What a shame he is retiring as it seems he could have played for at least one more year at the highest level. He was playing this year like the BBBR of old.

Barrett - the most consistent of the AB trio. Shame he is also consistently a fucktard with cards

Consistent on many levels then.

Edit: I see that was probably your point. Apologies.

They get my vote too

Adding a brief explanation

Scott Barrett came of age this year. People
We’re talking about him being player of the year before his sending off at Twickers.

EE is the best lock in the world and proved it this year.

Should have been red carded (2 YC’s) in the qtr final and final but didn’t. Showed he had added Jedi mind control to his already burgeoning bag of skills.
