Genia deserves top gong

Writing in the New Zealand Herald, Paul Gregor says that Australia's Will Genia would be a worthy recipient of the International Rugby Board's player of the year gong.

This year the nominations are: Will Genia, David Pocock, Thierry Dusautoir, Ma'a Nonu, Piri Weepu and Jerome Kaino. That's going to be tough. Is there an obvious stand out from those six?

Well, there probably is... Genia. Just ahead of Kaino, Nonu, Pocock, Dusautoir and Weepu in that order.

Genia has reached that special place where every team he encounters will have spent most of their analysis working out ways to diffuse his explosive influence.
