Dylan Cleaver of the New Zealand Herald takes a look back at this year's Tri-Nations and dishes out some awards.
"Captain Courageous, his slimline teammate - and the odd incendiary comment. It had it all.
"Best player: No prizes for guessing this one - Richie McCaw. The next four in line would have been All Blacks as well, with Kieran Read, Brad Thorn and Keven Mealamu all outstanding. Wallaby David Pocock was the closest foreigner, though he blotted his copybook with an ordinary night in Sydney.
"Surprise package: Looking like something out of a Jenny Craig commercial, Piri Weepu wasn't just thinner, he looked a different player. Snappy and direct, he also hoofed over kicks when required."
