@Bovidae said in NZ and World Rugby Awards 2022:
There are some surprising nominees and winners amongst that lot.
So Plumtree was right to select PGS in June.
Still some odd nominees in there though - Josh Ioane for Maori player of the year? Even Grace for Super Rugby, he was having an average season up until the the last few matches and the Maori games.
Shaun Stevenson's original omission from the ABXV again under the microscope.
@Nepia The nominations and award aren't for Māori Player of the Year. They're for Māori All Blacks Player of the Year, so that suggests it's based on their performance for the Māori All Blacks only. I'd have given that award to Grace or Harmon, but Stevenson is a good choice, too.
I agree PGS and Grace's nomination for SRP Player of the Year are odd, considering they only showed good form in part of the competion. PGS in the wrong part of the competition, too.

Excellent Winner. One of the great moments (if not the greatest) of the 2023 rugby calendar.
For Kiwi's anyway!

So you're saying a try in the 2021 RWC, scored in 2022, was the best moment of the 2023 season?
Time travel is real
I love that Stacey has a huge grin since beating the defender near half way, all the way until well after she scored.
