“I was shocked to hear that I was awarded the best player and I thank the Lord for it all and the team. The new players pulled up their socks and while New Zealand also had new players, rugby is an old game and everyone can play it and I just take my hat off to the players for a job well done.”

Selections for Dubai next month will begin with a fitness test next Wednesday.
