Antoine Dupont wins Six Nations Player of the Championship by a landslide
By Ian Cameron
French scrumhalf Antoine Dupont has won the Six Nations Player of the Tournament award by a landslide, becoming the first Frenchman to pick up the gong in the history of the competition.
Dupont garnered 46 per cent of the total votes for the award, which amounts to a huge winning margin.
It's been a remarkable year for the electric nine who has been practically unplayable in all competition in the last 12 months. Together with flyhalf Romain Ntamack, who was also nominated for the prestigious award, Dupont traumatised defences across the 274 days of the elongated competition.
Meanwhile, England's Emily Scarratt was named the Player of the Championship in the 2020 Womens Six Nations.

I think you're misunderstanding the fundamentals of how negotiations work, thinking the buyer has all the power. To look at just one rule of negotiation, the party with options has an advantage. I.e. if you are an international 10 with a huge personal brand, you have no shortage of high-paying job opportunities. Counter that to NZR who are not exactly flush with 10s, BB has a lot of leverage in this negotiation. That is just one example; there are other negotiation rules giving BB power, but I won't list them all. Negotiation is a two-way street, and NZR certainly don't hold all the cards.
