@Nepia I'll remind Will to pay careful attention to the thumb grip!

In some ways - or maybe just in a bad year - our own players get a bit more microscope than others. Jordan did some real shit stuff this year, but then look at that Kolbe drop-out...

Great engagement with the TSF TOTY Brand!

Cut through with our valued stakeholders is strong, and we value your participation in this iconic annual (mostly) celebration of the best players in this year's test match calendar.

Just a reminder to jump on the nomination threads in the Fernies forum. https://forum.silverfern.rugby/category/69/fernies

I'll add any nominations from here, including those who made the assorted published combined teams.

I'll try and get the polls up toward the end of the week.

Excellent work so far @booboo. Maybe @Virgil should take note ?

A pretty good team, to be honest. Strongly disagree with Jordan at fullback but otherwise, no obvious issues. Beirne and Kolbe maybe a little controversial.

Will Jordan living rent free in Boneseys head.

Given how utterly dominant they are in World Rugby at the moment, the Springboks should have at least one player nominated in every position.
