I'm not sure what is more surprising - Dan Biggar winning the award or Niko being nominated?  Headscratch 

Although to be fair I could't say who should get player of the year, and if Biggar was top points scorer that's as good a reason as any.

Delighted to see Johnny Gray in there.

Surprised Townsend didnt get coach of the year.

Surprised Pienaar was shortlisted. Didn't get close to Ulster Player of the Year.

Try of the year also a bizarre choice.

When they said Seymour had own try of the year I assumed it would be for this gem from the other week https://youtu.be/0wMecLzFpBw chip, chase, catch, fend, score!

There needs to be a "Razzies" award night, which would have been far more appropriate to hold in Edinburgh, so the recipients of most of the awards wouldn't have far to travel home.

Worst performance: Edinburgh vs Munster (Scotstoun)

Worst player: Piers Francis/Ben Atiga (shared)

Worst newcomer: Andries Strauss

Most tackles missed: Tim Visser

Worst impression of a winger: Jack Cuthbert, Sam Beard and Sam Hidalgo Clyne (shared)

Worst transfer policy: Edinburgh, for shipping out Ross Rennie, Harry Leonard, Alex Allan and Nick De Luca to make way for (respectively) Mike Coman, Bezzy, Berghan and Strauss.

Worst coaches phrase: Solomons and his repeated insistence that 7 wins this season was "progress" compared to 7 wins the previous season.

Worst fans of the season: Glasgow........only joking.  Hug
