With 2008 at a close we here at Planet Rugby are proud to announce our Team of the Year for 2008. FULL STORY >>
It's that time of year again when we reward all those kind enough to have provided entertainment over the past 12 months, wittingly or not!
If 2008 did not exactly reach the peaks of 2007, it didn't disappoint for intrigue either. There were no World Cups, few extraordinary moments, few moments of pure drama to remember, but plenty of events that will be recalled further down the line as moments that may have defined the years to come. Certainly it will be remembered as the year the south pulled clear again in terms of performance and ability. But why?
