Suffice to say, many of you were not quite so complimentary toward his particularly un-nuanced view of the game.

Anyway… we’re all thrilled at the prospect of the upcoming games; with some heavy-hitters of the 6 Nations still very much in the running for the top spot on the podium, there are sure to be some belters just around the corner – roll on Round 3!

Look out for more special awards being dished out along the way and let us know in the comments, or via Twitter – @rugby_store – of any awards you think are particularly deserving.
