Beauden Barret's reaction to his World Rugby Player of the Year Award:
The flyhalf stands a chance to walk in the footsteps of the legendary Dan Carter, who's won the World Rugby Player of the Year Award three times. Although missing out on a Super Rugby title this year - Barrett came alive at this year's Rugby Championship, as he led his team to their sixth title.
IRPA Try of the Year - Joaquin Tuculet (Argentina)
World Rugby's Men's Sevens Player of the Year - Perry Baker (USA)
The American speedster carried on his form in the 2016/2017 season, finishing with the most points scored last year with 285 and the highest try scorer with 57 tries. Baker looks set to break more records in this new season.
