Problem with north hemisphere think their opinion matters to the rest of the world. DuPont is praised for nothing, those mater covered and turnover won how did they benefit their respective team? Eben showed up at competitive games while DuPont don’t show up! Even the award given is on seven because he was playing there, most of the time he was on the bench. If DuPont was playing his rugby on 15 , he was going to be named in nominee for simple reason, France seems to be owning this awards.
Go to commentsNot that I'm moaning because it potentially means weaker AB teams we have to play against, but which bit of the word PROFESSIONAL didn't this poephol understand? And the next one would be SACRIFICE - just because some okes had to suffer in the past means everyone does forever after? Ridiculous.
