Hendy's brainfart prevents him from from qualifying for this award, but his aggression at the breakdown was on another level.
So it's Paddy or Louis.........OK Louis.

Puitau for me, he was unplayable at times.
Plenty of contenders in the pack too. Really aggressive display from 1-8.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?

What a game!! Voted for Jackson for his all round game--his distribution, running and defence was just sublime. Honourable mention to Ludik, Piatau, Herring', Rodney, Reid and special mention to FDVM--is that man made of granite or what!!

It was Ludik, but I feel AOC deserves a mention, the lad was great.

One duff kick more than made up for by his tackling. I only started to notice his defence at the end of last season. He's not far away from the complete package

Did you not think he disappeared for large chunks of the second half?

Don't think we've seen the best of him yet but the way he side stepped Hogg etc was sublime

He wasn't getting the ball because we were defending alot more.

Everyone gets their panties in a bunch over Hogg. His defence is suspect and although he's a great broken field runner, there are several better fullbacks in the Pro12. We have two of them.

Paddy was MOTM for me. He is playing with tremendous maturity and confidence now, with a great all-round game. If he holds that form he will certainly give Sexton a run for his money for the Ireland 10 shirt

Paddy has looked so assured the last two games. Just oozes maturity. Developed really well the last year or two.
Climb up onto the top of your house and start screaming: 'stand up for the Ulstermen, stand.......'

For a guy who has himself admitted he is just a squad player this season, Ludik has been outstanding the last couple of weeks.
You haven't seen me at my best yet. Let's be honest, you probably never will.

Potentially struggling to make the 23 if everybody is fit this season but he's responded superbly. Got my vote last night.
Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

Ludik always was a hell of a smart player, if not starting he is fantastic bench cover from 11 to 15
