Bundee Aki for me, just electric every time I see him with ball in hand

I think the fact that he was in the final helped him but Ardie has been good when New Zealand seemed ordinary. He was also there and there about for a few years which also could have counted for him.

I would have been happy with any one of the nominees. They have all be outstanding.

What did John Smit do to get special merit?

[–] FerNZA@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I guess for his work as a player representative. I don’t really know much more than that.
