World Rugby's official best XV named and people think it's 'a joke'

There were plenty who were less than impressed when Eben Etzebeth and Ardie Savea failed to make the shortlist for World Rugby men's player of the year.

Let’s just suggest a few more may have been added to their number after the announcement of the global game’s men's team of 2022.

There is no place for the great South African lock and enforcer Etzebeth or the ultra-talented New Zealand back-row forward Savea in the World Rugby dream XV of the year. One social media poster called the Springbok’s omission ‘a joke’ with another settling for ‘mad’ when assessing Savea’s absence from the line-up.
