Jonny连续第二年得奖。下面还有其他奖项的名单，Rokocoko是本年度最佳新人， Wilkinson scoops Players' Player of the Year ... again! 18/11/03 Second consecutive award for 'Wilko' Lions and England fly-half Jonny Wilkinson scooped yet another accolade ahead of the Rugby World Cup 2003 Final, being named as the Players' Player of the Year for the second consecutive year. The 24-year-old pivot won the award in 2002 and following a hat-trick of wins in November soon after that, a Grand Slam-winning Six Nations campaign and tour wins in Australia and New Zealand he has yet again won the respect of his playing colleagues. The inaugural International Rugby Players Association (IRPA) Player of the Year was Wallaby scrum-half and captain George Gregan in 2001. Wilkinson tallied 262 points to outpoint the New Zealand quartet of Carlos Spencer (117 points), Doug Howlett (89), Joe Rokocoko (45), Richie McCaw (44) and Ireland's Brian O'driscoll (38). It is the latest in a long line of awards for Wilkinson in his five- year Test career so far, not least being awarded MBE by the Queen in her New Year's Honour's List, the youngest rugby player ever to do so. Since then he has become one of the sport's most famous and bankable stars with his abilities on the field, and his good looks off it, propelling him into the star status category. Voting for the Awards is carried out on a 3-2-1 basis by players from the national squads of France, Ireland, Wales, England, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa and covers the 12-month period from October 1, 2002 until September 31, so therefore not the RWC. To ensure against bias and prejudice, players are not eligible to vote for a player in their own national squad. They must vote for players from another country. Although ranked fourth in the Player of the Year Award, New Zealand winger Joe Rokocoko was rewarded for his exceptional year when named the Investec IRPA Newcomer Of The Year. The try-scoring Rokocoko earned 314 points to comfortably beat team- mate Jerry Collins (75), South Africa's Ashwin Willemse (66), New Zealand's Keven Mealamu (63), Australia's Lote Tuqiri (35) and South Africa's Juan Smith (35). New Zealand was named the Investec IRPA Team of the Year in a tight contest with England although that will be little consolation after their semi-final loss to Australia last weekend. The All Blacks amassed 316 points outpointing England (295), Argentina (95), Ireland (88) and France (73). The Investec Try of the Year, as judged by former Australian scrum-half, Nick Farr-Jones, was Chris Paterson's magnificent try for Scotland against South Africa last June. All Black winger, Jonah Lomu, was honoured with the Special Merit Award for his significant contribution to the game.
