Rugby UNION player of the year thus far?
I would have to say Schalk Burger Jr. I mean he is 21-years-old and he plays like a wiley old vet (aside from some disciplinary problems). He poaches a lot of balls from defensive rucks, his skill with ball in hand is almost as good as a back, he's a consistant tackler and just an all around workhorse. He's one of the main reasons South Africa won the Tri-Nations this year and his play in the Curry Cup has also been pretty solid.
Who do you guys think?
