‘BOD deserves Player of Year’
21 Nov 2009
Shane Williams believes Brian O’Driscoll should get the IRB Player of the Year award ahead of Fourie du Preez.
The nominees were annnounced on Monday, and yet again there were some surprises. Williams himself was a shock winner in 2008 and couldn’t even start for the Lions in South Africa in the first two Tests this year, but predictably backed his northern hemisphere compatriot to claim the accolade.
‘I’ve seen the shortlist, there are some great names on it,’ said Williams. ‘I’m sure with everything he has achieved this year, it may go to Brian. It would be nice. He’s a good friend of mine, and he certainly deserves it.
‘With winning the Grand Slam [Ireland] and the Heineken Cup [Leinster] and having a great Lions tour, and scoring on the weekend against Australia, he’s back to his best really,’ said Williams, forgetting Du Preez won the Lions series with the Boks, the Tri-Nations, and was instrumental for the Bulls in their Super 14 and Currie Cup triumphs.
‘He has worked hard to get there and he would deserve the accolade,’ added Williams.
The other nominees are Tom Croft, Jamie Heaslip, Matt Giteau, Rich McCaw and Frans Steyn. The nomination of players such as Steyn, Croft (who has been dropped by lowly England) and Heaslip – who was quiet in the Lions series until the third Test against a weakened Bok side – shows how flawed the process is and by the end of the November internationals it wouldn’t be surprising if O’Driscoll edges Du Preez.
The announcement will be made next weekend.

who cares what williams says.

shut up midget!
21 Nov 2009, 10:13 am
LOL….Who cares….?
The credibility of these awards were tarnished a long time ago….
For me Brussow should have been a nominee as well…
21 Nov 2009, 10:20 am
Fourie de Preez surely deserves this more than anyone else. A geat Super 14, outstanding Tri-Nations, helping the Bulls win the Currie Cup and winning the SA Player of the year award.
21 Nov 2009, 10:25 am
from one overrated star studded celebrity to another give it to Tom Hanks or Brad Pitt. These things should be reserved for hollywood. Who the hell cares who’s got their glitsy star embedded in the IRB sidewalk. Most certainly not I, neither Fdp nor Bod deserve it anyway couple overrated prima donna’s the both of them.

21 Nov 2009, 10:46 am
The favourites for the IRB Player of the Year, from most to least, are as follows:
Brian O’Driscoll
Jamie Heaslip
Tom Croft
Richie McCaw
Matt Giteau
Fourie du Preez
Francois Steyn
Come on, chaps, let’s have a look at the IRB’s composition, shall we?
21 Nov 2009, 10:50 am
#9 WP Till I Die: How did any Saffas get on the list? Didn’t they see the Cricket equivalent? Achievement is not to taken into consideration. They remembered that with Morne Steyn. How come they forgot with the others?
21 Nov 2009, 10:50 am
#7 grant10: i don’t catch midgets, nokwe or habs can do that for me!
21 Nov 2009, 10:51 am
The single player that changed the way the Boks approach the entire game of rugby…..and added a complete new dimension…..is Brussow…..
He ….in my mind….has been the catalyst for our success….
Now if only we can only farken scrum
21 Nov 2009, 10:52 am
#7 grant10: better yet jpp, he smashed 7 different shades of **** out of the midget! Lol
21 Nov 2009, 10:53 am
#11 Transformation: LOL…that oke can play….left Habana for dead a few times!!!
Great talent that ‘midget’ as you call him….
Brussow should be there….best fetcher bar none on the planet.
21 Nov 2009, 10:53 am
#8 grant10:
1stly, Ive already said FdP
2ndly, Brussow has had a good debut year. But dont confuse the impact he has had for Boks – finally selecting a ‘fetcher’, and thereby significantly adding greater balance to Bok pack/team – to being the outstanding player on the Planet. He’s a tidy player but was not the outstanding player in more than 1 or 2 matches.
21 Nov 2009, 10:54 am
#13 Transformation: best tackle of that season….will never forget it!
Step…step….EINA!!!!
LOL
21 Nov 2009, 10:56 am
#15 WakaNathan: Showed up every other fetcher he played against…Aussies, French, Lions, Kiwis, Currie Cup…super 14….
And revoluionised the way the Boks play….for me the best player in the world in 2009….
21 Nov 2009, 11:01 am
#16 grant10: HA HA HA HA now you’re killing me…”step….step….EINA!!!!!” that was sublime…
Eish, i have to prepare to go to a wedding with the Rossoneri let me get to it…

Time to up the medicine.
21 Nov 2009, 11:09 am
Only one player to win this award. Fourie du Preez. Won a S14 medal, Lions Series medal, Tri-Nations medal and a Currie Cup medal.
Been the best scrummin in the world for some time now.
Shane Williams hardly deserved it last year. Should have gone to R. McCaw.
Good luck to FdP. If he does not get it there is just no justice in these awards.
21 Nov 2009, 11:10 am
meant scrummie.
21 Nov 2009, 11:10 am
Will the awards be decided before or after next weeks match against Ireland. In my opinion that will probably be the decider of the team of the year award and probably player of year award as well..
21 Nov 2009, 11:16 am
#23 steeve: Think it is after the Ireland game. Even if we lose there. We have won far more than they have this year.
Boks have won Tri-Nations and a Lions Series. FdP being part of those wins and his team won S14 and CC to of the toughest competitions in world rugby.
FdP to win no matter if Boks lose to Ireland.
21 Nov 2009, 11:17 am
to meant two
21 Nov 2009, 11:29 am
#21 Puma: There is no justice in these awards… Politics and croneyism > Achievement.
FdP should win it, but I’m not holding my breath.
21 Nov 2009, 11:36 am
what nonsense
21 Nov 2009, 11:38 am
Shane Williams and BOD are complete ***** of the year. Aholes deluxe the both of them
21 Nov 2009, 11:39 am
#26 SimiJan: FdP is the only player there that deserves to win it. Then like you say there is no justice in those rewards. R. McCaw was twice the player S. Williams was last year and he never got the reward.
So let us see. It would be a disgrace if FdP did not win it. If Boks don’t win team of the year and PdV coach of the year. Winning a Lions Series and a Tri-Nations is far tougher than winning anything in world rugby. Especially the Tri-Nations as we have to play each other 3 times. ABs and Wallabies and Boks are top 3 in world rugby. It does not get tougher than that to play each other 3 times and win that tourney.
21 Nov 2009, 11:50 am
#29 Puma: Since when is the world fair mate?
21 Nov 2009, 11:51 am
#30 goyougoodthing2: Never just hoping it is this time. Wont hold my breath though.
21 Nov 2009, 11:55 am
#31 Puma: The thing about Northern hemisphere rugby is that it comes out of the Private School thing, as it does in SA, but the Private School thing in the UK produces a higher ratio of Knobheads per class than SA.
The result? A bunch of ***** keeping the theme of Knobism alive and well in NH rugby.
21 Nov 2009, 12:03 pm
I reckon FdP and BOD are just about equal. Fourie was certainly the best 9 in the world, but BOD was also the best 13 and both had a massive influence on their teams. It’ll all boil down to the most memorable moments in the judges minds, I reckon.
21 Nov 2009, 12:05 pm
#32 goyougoodthing2:
I doubt whether the Scots, Irish, Welsh and French would agree with you about the private school thing.
21 Nov 2009, 12:06 pm
#33 David: Lions 1 Boks 2 David. That is where they met, that was the result, give the spoils to the winner.
21 Nov 2009, 12:07 pm
#34 David: England mate, private school thing, look at the way they behave, like spoilt children.
21 Nov 2009, 12:08 pm
#34 David: Sorry should have restricted my comments to England and the LIONS
21 Nov 2009, 12:10 pm
BOD is a legend of the game and without doubt one of the best centres of all time. I doubt the same could be said of FDP. I actually think that SA should have tried him at 10. His scrumhlf play is limited by his lack of speed (quick service) and tendency to kick most ball away. He actually stifles any backline. His performance against France showed up his limitations. Mind you when you play most of your rugby behind a Bulls pack that dominate you should at least look like a million dollars. I know this view is not a popular one but is exactly how I see him.
21 Nov 2009, 12:11 pm
#38 Shakes: The thing about BOD is that he may be a legend, but he sure knows it too! ****!
21 Nov 2009, 12:15 pm
#35 goyougoodthing2:
And if Ireland beat the Boks? 2 all. Besides it goes to the player not the team.
21 Nov 2009, 12:17 pm
#40 David: Yep, don’t get me wrong, I think BOD is okay, I just think FDP is better. That said, real player of the year is missing from the list… one Brussow!
21 Nov 2009, 12:20 pm
#38 Shakes: Unto each his own, but i completely and utterly disagree. He has never loooked better than behind the supposed pathetic Bok pack. His kicking is the best in the world, and fits the game plan. When he runs, he is lightning. Ask the Aussies this year and the English in 07. On defence he is a rock. Again, ask Will Ginea on his test debut.
IMHO – Fourie du Preez is a legend. He is the best 9 in world rugby by a country mile, and an incredibly talented footballer. He has an amazing pass, and often makes Morne Steyn look great.
21 Nov 2009, 12:21 pm
why shane? the lions lost bra! look at fdp’s year. unless this is some consolation prize
21 Nov 2009, 12:27 pm
What alot of ‘Sour Grapes’ this morning…..
Don’t tell me you are all getting nervous about Boks v Italy….
21 Nov 2009, 12:30 pm
#42 Cheetha Champs: reminds me of his quick penalty try when he ran over 4 forwards .and his quick thinking in the super 14 final and his genius in the currie cup final
best player in the world period!!
21 Nov 2009, 12:32 pm
#42 Cheetha Champs: If I sum up what you said it is best kicking 9 in the world then I agree. If we continue our woes in the frontrow and at the breakdown believe me we are in big **** for not having a scrumhalf that gets rid of the ball quickly. FDP almost always think about what to do for a few seconds behind the ruck. So far by that time we are rucked (phucked) off the ball. An example was vs France last week where he had a shocker. We conceded so much possession with penalties and turnovers yet he virtually kicked the scraps that we had away. I have said during the 3N already that we need an alternative to FDP cos vs France he should have been pulled off early in the 2nd half.
21 Nov 2009, 12:33 pm
#17 grant10:
‘revolutionised how Boks play’ has clearly influenced you. But he didnt ‘outplay’ all his opposites. He was nowhere vs Aussies in Brisbane, Smith took spoils there. And in 3 Tests vs ABs, only starred at Bloem vs McCaw. He was persona non grata in Hamilton in that 2ndH.
But I would certainly say he is Newcomer of the Year tho.
21 Nov 2009, 12:47 pm
I’d make Paddy Obrien player of the year if he promised to quit as head of refs
21 Nov 2009, 12:50 pm
#6 WakaNathan: Skopskiet would give it to Chiliboy Rallepelle for playing half of the first half of the losing game on tour against Lecester.
21 Nov 2009, 12:51 pm
#47 WakaNathan: No…he was better than MC Caw this year…and G Smith….and the French…and the B Lions…
And put JW assertion that a fetcher is superfulous to the sword….
Imo….the man!
21 Nov 2009, 12:53 pm
#49 kaksioek: Chilliboy needs to retire, please!
21 Nov 2009, 12:55 pm
“He is a good friend of mine”
Well duh, right about there objectivity and credibility is thrown out the window.
21 Nov 2009, 12:57 pm
#51 goyougoodthing2: And yet some here think he should be Bok captain! The mind boggles. Of course others suggest Puke Watson. It’s a sad, sad world.
21 Nov 2009, 13:01 pm
Actually I agree with SkopSkyf but for other reasons.
None on the list deserve IRB POY. Now ways.
21 Nov 2009, 13:03 pm
#53 kaksioek: I’d like to bring Tony Watson out of retirement and make him Captain. He is very good at moving balls around, I hear his ability to move a ball on a golf course without his club even touching it are legendary
Cheers!
21 Nov 2009, 13:05 pm
only 2 players that turned bok’s from a losing team to a winning one this year were Brussow and M. Steyn. Not for those two forget any ideas of world supremacy against Lion’s or in tri nations. Those two made the difference certainly not Fdp. Bod on the other hand is still a genius at center no matter what his character deficiencies are.
And to sum up about Shakes assessment of Fdp he’s 100% correct Fdp only looks good behind a dominant pack never a retreating one. If you have to compare the efficiency and momentum that H. Adams gives his back line compared to Fdp’s stifling one man show, there is no comparison. Fdp is a fly half playing out of position he would have made a decent 10. As scrum halves go he’s a one man band show pony who kicks perhaps 70% ball either to no mans land or over the dead ball line. Between him and M. Steyn at pivot the rest of the back line may as well take 40 winks between scrum time and take in a dinner and movie the rest of the game.
21 Nov 2009, 13:06 pm
#56 skopskiet: I think Vermaak, Adams and if he dropped his bullsh!t Kockott are great scrummies and deserve a chance.
21 Nov 2009, 13:14 pm
BOD had a good Lions tour? What a load of bollocks. He did okay against weakened provincial sides but as soon as he came up against a decent side (Boks in second test) he just ran around picking fights off the ball and really should have been red carded for repeated offences. As soon as the going got tough he was shown up as nothing special.
21 Nov 2009, 13:16 pm
There isn’t a scrumhalf in the world at the moment to hold a candle to FdP. He has it all and is at the height of his powers. He is the quickest thinking no 9 around and he thrives in the pressure cauldron. He created tries out of nothing against both the Wallabies and ABs this year. His kicking is pinpoint and his vision outstanding. He is probably the best rugby player of any position at the moment.
21 Nov 2009, 13:27 pm
#59 stormer in a teacup: I agree with your accessment. But not POY 2009.
21 Nov 2009, 13:32 pm
Bod is a show pony, there is only one choice and that is my man mr du pree, there is no one playing scrumi at the moment that cAn touch him, there are plenty of centers that outclasses bod
21 Nov 2009, 13:33 pm
IRB Player of the year:
-Give it to a battler.
-Someone who has served his country with distinction.
-Someone who mops up the mistakes of others.
-The unheralded workaholic, so fcked after a Test Match, he can’t give an Interview.
-Hard but not filthy.
-Maybe not eloquent. One who lets his actions speak.
-A toiler……..not a glamour boy.
Is there such a man?

21 Nov 2009, 13:42 pm
keep blowing all this hype up Fdp’s *** he might even start believing it then the trouble seriously starts to infiltrate his head. He performed like an out of sorts rookie along with his stable mate M. Steyn last week vs France. Between him and Butch James is exactly where we coughed up the tri nations last year. January far and away more adaptive scrum half under trying conditions than Fdp who took an entire year to come to grips with elv rugby. This year he’s stepped up and January fell off the wagon but last year January heaps ahead and should have been played throughout the tournament we might have even won it instead of reverting to Fdp’s kicking game.
Fdp is an opportunist type player who sometimes gets it right and other times not, as a consistent and efficient feeder of the ball to his back line he’s actually one of the absolute worst in the game and unless somebody realizes that its between him and M. Steyn that is the actual cause of our back lines regression into a dismal non evolving stagnant non entity where stuff all happens in 80 min of kick fest gaining grounds then we never going to come out this spiral of staid deficient lack of creativity. They going to keep blowing hifaluting smoke up this guys *** and our non existent back line play will have died the death of a Beethoven requiem played in reverse. A one man show to kick n chase all day long the end of bok back line efficiency as its been touted all along. Get a proper efficient scrum half to feed the ball or watch bok back line play disintegrate into nothing as its almost become already.

21 Nov 2009, 14:00 pm
yeah I agree with canes assessment too, give it to a grafter, a toiler, a man behind the scenes, one who is the unsung hero of the masterpiece, not one of these prima donna show pony self made glory boys like Fdp or Bod or the other high profile ramp models.
21 Nov 2009, 14:02 pm
#69 cane: Habanero one of the Saffas that could have made the list in my opinion, but also not POY.
But to be honest this year has been the year of the scrum. It has has a major impact in all the big games, line-out less so this year. I would be have thought of a certain front row player from up North.

in fact Brussow almost fits the bill perfectly, the unsung hero of Bok’s success in 2009. Without Brussow no thing would have been left on the plate to write home about, nothing at all whatsoever. Niento.

” line-out less so this year”.
Not if you are Kiwi, Mr Kronie.
- Nominee number 3………. Victor.
The only reason Bokkie won 3/zip against NZ this year. The SA line-out and the Steyn Boys. Young Fronken and Mornay Sauce.
Of course Victors work ethic else where, lets him down a little. But no mistake, Victor is giant of the Game, in more ways than one.

LOL.
Caster is unique. Through no fault of her own she has been humiliated. She didn’t cheat. She didn’t do drugs. She only did what she was good at……….running.
But the SA Athletics people really let her down. Shame on them.
21 Nov 2009, 14:23 pm
#72 skopskiet: but honestly now skop how is fdp a show pony ???how many times have you seen a fdp interview on any rugby site in the world???do you actually ever hear a statement from FDp after a rugby game unless he’s MOTM ?have you actually ever seen him being stingy with the ball and going for glory or is he usually creating tries for other people (had a hand in 75% of all the bulls tries this year)
so yess he may a kick a lot of possesion away i agree with you on that front even though his kicks are pin point accurate and are almost always followed by two chasers and usually his kicks result in territory for the boks . But one thing is certain he’s the best scrummie in the world wihtout a shout of a doubt
21 Nov 2009, 14:24 pm
#77 cane: Yep no denying. Hence the “less so”.
Scrum was however pivotal in many many of the games televised, all over the world. Could be we were just more sensitive to it?
21 Nov 2009, 14:25 pm
Some serious denial here…..
Before banging on about super 14 and curry cup people should actually check the rules…..IT’S ONLY INTERNATIONALS THAT COUNT!!!!!!!!
Ireland are unbeaten this year…..What else can we do?
I’m undecided as to who deserves it but to say it has to be FDP is ludicrous….
PS: It must be a very slow day if Keo is resorting to an article this insignificant……

Newcomer of the Year without doubt. The next Reuben Kruger.
21 Nov 2009, 14:29 pm
Frans Steyn did hold the fort immensely in the tri nations no getting away from it. I’d give it to Frans or Morne before I’d give it to Fourie Dup.
But somebody’s astute awareness up above somewhere as to who makes these nominations shouldn’t go amiss. Why these nominations, why no French nomination or Parisse or Dusetoir, why none of them on the list, smacks of home grown old farts bias if you ask me.
21 Nov 2009, 14:30 pm
#78 cane: Very true. Shame on me for that cheap comment. SA athletics a disgrace to the entire nation. It is not just the fact that these bozos lied and lied again. It is the bald faced cheek that they think that they should be above reproach. Unfortunately this type of thinking is a disease in SA.

BoD for POY?
I thought that this year started in January
21 Nov 2009, 14:48 pm
I’m sure you guys are going to crucify me for this but FDP doesn’t deserve it. He can be a genius yes, but go back and watch the Lions games. He kicked everything away and costed us lots of posession. He’s actually very lucky that Brussow was in the side to win us our posession back. I think Morne or Brussow should get it. Without them, we wouldn’t have won the Lions series and maybe not the tri-nations.
21 Nov 2009, 14:53 pm
here we go again with the derogation of our own, I wonder why we don’t all just get on the next ferry to grass is Greener land somewhere over yonder, then we never have to hang our lily superior heads in shame because our inept derogatised dark skinned officials and administrators are the very bane of our illumined highly evolved first world attitudes.
Wtf we doing down here at the tip of Africa, we should all just simply f.off to where its so much more comfortable where we don’t have to rub shoulders with the deranged and the inept disease ridden indigenous locals ruining our lives into such abject deficient misery. Maybe we should all make like these hard done by rugby players and go sign up in the first world havens of our European heritage like Sarries or Uncle Harry’s, then no more need to feel ashamed about anything African, we can just bask in the ever soothing sun of our illustrious first world Valhalla’s where everything is perfectly normal and above reproach in the European hallowed homes of absolute repute where other mens slavery was never an issue and was first abolished.

You are probably in trouble for mentioning the words Lions and Lucky in the same sentence
21 Nov 2009, 14:55 pm
#87 rugbywriter: Not going to crucify you, but that was the gameplan. Boks have been using the tactical and territorial kick and chase to put pressure on the opposition and turn over possession close to the opposition line.

How long have I been away and missed Skop being Skop
21 Nov 2009, 14:56 pm
FdP is the best scrummie in the world but lets be frank, apart from rookie Will Genia, there’s no number 9′s worth talking about. Pretty pedestrian stuff. FdP may be pretty effective behind a winning pack, but I get more enjoyment from watching Genia.
And I probably have got more enjoyment watching BOD’s skills too so, if rugby is actually about entertainment, then my vote is with O’Driscoll.
21 Nov 2009, 14:58 pm
#88 skopskiet: I was going to ask what this little shitsplatter is all about and then I realised even you don’t know.
21 Nov 2009, 15:01 pm
Ok Mbaxi you like Fdp its fine, he’s a pretty good all round rugby player, to my way of thinking definitely not superman himself or even best this or that. Everyone got their own ideas and opinions, mine go pretty much along the lines that rugby writer mentions above. Fdp kicks more possession away than he feeds to his back line and for that reason I find him sometimes more a liability than an asset. Much rather have a scrum half who’s main purpose on the field is to get the back line away as efficiently as possible and not seek kicking glory or opportunity for himself.
21 Nov 2009, 15:07 pm
#93 Why can’t you guess, its about you making high handed excuses for your inept dark skinned African officials who you feel so abysmally ashamed about every day you open your lily European dainty self esteemed eyes.

I wonder what player would win a Arsenal’s most cheating player award.
Probably the injury throw goal from Kanu. Disgraceful goal, dirty lier about it afterwards …. and the coach lived up to his name (first name that is) with the replay decision
21 Nov 2009, 15:18 pm
It has nothing to do with the colour of their skin, you prizewinning ******. It is the fact that these lying, thieving ******** think they are entitled to lie and thieve with impunity. They are the true oppressors of the African spirit because thay believe that africans deserve no better than be represented by their lying, thieving selves.
Their philosphy is that he poor old african doesn’t deserve to have his interests served to the same level as the first world. He is just a stupid simpleton who can be convinced to keep financing these lying, thieving ********, because he is stupid enough to keep voting for these buffoons who promise the world while stuffing as much loot as quickly as they can into their pockets.
News is out that one of the chief ******** has a company which was awarded a R600 000 contract by ASA while our top athletes travel in cramped economy seats and the gravy train jockeys sit in first class.
Yes I am ashamed of these lying thieving ******** because my countrymen deserve better.

Stormer in a Thimble for president. That way we all get to ride in the first world carriage. All aboard the Storming Norman Liberty Ship to first world euphoria, hooray. God save the Queen.

If BOD wins I’ll give up rugby altogether and start a freedom fighting organisation to destroy the racist Gerrymander known as the Interminably Racist Brouhaha!!
BOD is a cheat in my view and Ireland won the 6N because he took a dive and got a penalty that won the game against England. In my mind England is the current 6N champion, even though BigHit is an OPST and France clearly has the best team, when it turns up.

Who gives a rat’s arse what Shane williams thinks ?!

I’d give it to Stewart the **** Dickinson – he’s had more effect on the result of any match he’s been in than any of the players.

BOD’s a shoe in for the prize
SA probably would have won the big prizes without FdeP
BOD nearly single handedly won the grand slam himself

It will be a travesty if Du Preez doesnot win this..

#104 Flametop: DO you even know what you are taking about? Your 9 is one of the most important players on the field. Fourie Du Preez is the best rugby player in the world at the moment!! And probably has the best pass in the history of the game along with the most potent tactical kicking games I’ve seen for many a year!! The entire Bok and Bulls game plan revolves around him!! Dont make such foolish comments!!

It should be Fourie Du Preez, the rightful winner but BOD might get it and that would be no disgrace either to be honest.

skop doesn’t like FDP because he kicks it most of the time instead of giving the ball to the backs, but really skop when you look at how inept the backline attack is I think FDP is right to kick it lol

When your 10 is standing deep for the next endless up and under even Peter Stringer could do a job
Look, no doubt he’s a great player but his influence on results this year is nowhere near BOD’s
Have your say
