You can vote for the 2008 Wallaby of the year

2008 Wallaby of the year

September 18, 2008 FOR the first time, Rugby fans have the chance to vote for the Qantas Wallabies player they believe has been the best and most consistent across the 2007 Rugby World Cup and 2008 Bundaberg Rum Rugby Series.
Players vote at the end of each match on their teammates’ performance, with the top five most voted for players being eligible for the award. Votes are tallied from the first Rugby World Cup match in 2007 to the Qantas Wallabies v All Blacks Test in Brisbane on Saturday 13 September 2008, and once votes have been compiled, the top five players will be nominated for the inaugural Australia’s Choice – 2008 Wallaby of the Year Award.

On Thursday 18 September, the five names will be announced on Fox Sports “Inside Rugby”, and from 9pm that night, you can vote online for the player you believe has made the biggest contribution to the Qantas Wallabies in the past 12 months. Your vote will count towards the inaugural Australia’s Choice – 2008 Wallaby of the Year Award.

You can vote at rugby.com.au | or RUPA - Rugby Union Players Association from 9pm Thursday 18 September to 5pm Sunday 19 October 2008.

The winner will be announced at the John Eales Medal presentation on Thursday 23 October 2008.

cheers gerry :)

for me i think il go with hynes. he was great considering this is his first season as a wallaby

I'm putting on my Western Force specs, and voting Cross...8-)

this one will be interesting. if it takes into account the world cup matches.

does anyone have them on dvd? i think i could handle watching them all again to research

I think George Smith will take this out....

Giteau?

Giteau has been hot and cold this season and has crabbed too much in the flyhalf position for my liking, plus the Force factor will be against him.

Yet NSW has weight in numbers, case in point Beale winning young player of the year over Pocock.

It was only 8 votes the difference, for the "rugby motherland", thats not really over-whelming support.

It is when the difference in quality between the two was clear to see.

If the Tah factor occurs Elsom should win it but maybe Smith, the rest of the players haven't really been consistent enough.

half of them couldnt even spell consistent. let alone PLAY consistently
