Rugby Australia Awards to be announced over week-long series
By Online Editors
The 2020 Rugby Australia Awards will be announced to fans over a week-long series as the game celebrates its best and brightest in 2020.
Announced every day at 12pm AEDT via Rugby Australia’s social media platforms, fans will have the opportunity to celebrate the many players and people who have made their mark on the game this year.
The Series will kick off with the Shawn Mackay Award, Women’s Sevens player of the year, before moving into Buildcorp Super W and Vodafone Super Rugby and culminating with the Nick Farr-Jones Spirit of Rugby Award and the 2021 John Eales Medal Winner.
Rugby Australia Interim CEO, Rob Clarke said: “It is unfortunate that this year, we won’t be able to celebrate together as a community, the many wonderful athletes and achievements of 2020 but we are looking forward to applauding our many winners across all aspects of the game.
“Rugby in 2020 has had challenges, but we have emerged from this year a stronger, more united, and ready for what is going to a groundbreaking 2021.
“The winners over the next week represent the best of our sport and I look forward to celebrating their achievements with our fantastic fans.”

James O'Connor comments are correct. Having been to the trainings at CHCH 's Malvern Park, there trainings have been fast and furious . They have stepped up a gear on previous seasons. James looks sharp. As do all the new guys. Ethan Blackadder is in great nick. I believe he is going to have great 2025. Off the field a good guy. Same goes for guys like Dominic Gardiner, Cullen Grace, George Bower. As has been the case for the last few years, great seeing Ethan and Dominic following in the footsteps of there Dads Todd Blackadder and Angus Gardiner, who were big parts of the first title winning Crusader teams, Todd the captain.

Certainly makes eye contact, and it’s certainly reckless which means he’s facing anything between an 8 - 208 week ban. Which is quite a range!
