NZ Rugby Awards 2025

[Bovidae]

Tupaea should win the Tom French but the four players for AB POTY don't seem to match reality.

[reprobate]

Codie Taylor was our best.
And Jordie was our best back.
Can't even get competence at the awards.

Savea fair enough in Super for sure.

[Grooter]

@reprobate yeah I find it odd Codie isn't nominated in 1 or 2 of these awards eh

[Dan54]

Pretty relaxed with Abs nominated, though I think (only my opinion) it's really between Holland and Roigard. I wouldn't of been surprised if Lakai got nominated but not overly upset about it.

[nostrildamus]

DMac had one inspiring innings off the bench too but overall thought the backs were up and mostly down.

[sparky]

Ardie Savea winning All Black of the year would be jaw-dropping, but he's a better shout for Super Rugby Player of the Year.

Cam Roigard deserves the AB of year award.

[canefan]

Sorensen McGee is an excitement machine, she has almost Cullenesque balance with the ball in hand. Regardless of whether she wins an award or not she is the future

[SouthernMann]

As much as I want Pledger to win the Age Grade gong, it has to be McGee. She has done way more at the highest level she can play.

[Bovidae]

It would be a big surprise if Sorensen-McGee didn't win the Age Grade player, and probably the Aupiki POTY too. That would mean she is a good chance to win the Kel Tremain.
