IRPA Player of The Year
International Rugby Players Association player of the year is Daniel Carter, hard call as Mr Habana and Umanga have had superb seasons. IMO probalby better than the IRB player of the year as it was voted by his peers.
McCaw,Matfield,Umaga and Habana were nominated.
NZ were team of the year just ahead of Wales, while Habana won new comer of the year ahead of Drew Mitchell and Sivivatu.
