Kieran Read - Ferocious in defence, at the break down and with the ball in hand. He's got great skills for a big man too. I loved his jump in the air when Woodcock scored that try.

Ever so subtle block (Fitzy-esque) on Imanol Harin .. oh shit I can't spell it: Hairy Donkey

I'm nominating him at 8. I reckon he was the best Frog in the final (far better than Dusautoir) and was outsanding in the knock out rounds and RWC in general. Brilliant in the air too. I'll look up the spelling before posting the poll.

Against Read was he missed a perod of the RWC and wasn't quite at his best due to the injury. Having said that he was still pretty damn good for a guy going at 80-90%.
