    It may lack the glamour of its British equivalent but also has less of the schmaltz that goes with it.

    The Irish awards always seem more down to earth.

    Is there no panel this year?

    I'd guess Rory has to win something, seeing as he showed up (and the sassenachs didn't give him their one last week).

    You could hear a pin drop, probably not much fun being in the audience. It's all changed since the IFTA's !

    I'd love him to hand it back and say 'I'll come back and pick it up in 40 years'.

    Jimmy Magee will probably be there to present it to him then.

    Some of his tactical analysis on BT Sport is great. He is a natural at this TV lark.

    I always feel sorry for the researchers who have to do this list. You are always going to have complaints from those who think you left out someone who should have been on the list.

    The question is not who will get the team of the year award but how much the Rugby team will win by.

    Oh no - Earplug time. As much as I admire Katie, I can't listen to her.

    Hang on lads (and it was three lads discussing who is Ireland's greatest ever sportswoman), Katie only has one Olympic medal.

    Michelle Smith can play pitch & toss will all the medals she has. Isn't that right Jimmy?

    I'm a big fan of Katie, but you can't ignore the fact that Womens Boxing is very much a minority Sport. Sonia won several World Championships (including two in a weekend), it's annoying to see them writing her off like that.

    But yeah, Jimmy appears to have changed his tune about Michelle Smith.

    Can't begrudge Schmidt his award but I'd prefer to see him there this time next year holding the world cup in his hand and talking about how 2015 got off to a flying start by winning the grand slam.





    I don't ask for much do I ?

    It's an impressive turnout this year. Hope Jonny Sexton is alright, his head issues sound worrying.

    Dont care about grand slam or winning a championship as long as performances dont nose dive. 2015 is only about the world cup

    Sexton should be ok. Rest should do him a lot of good but worrying he had so many concussions/blows over a short enough period

    Wow, wasn't expecting that. I thought the rugby team would piss it.

    I don't begrudge it to them either.

    Pity they had to endure meeting that plonker Michael Ring though.

    Then it would be deserved.!!
    But this year im not sure.
    We didn't win the Grand Slam, and only won the Championship because France gave a forward pass at the final play of the game when it was easier to score a try.
    Just goes to show the importance of media hype for these awards.
    (and the importance of rugby school boy Ryle Nugent as RTE head of sport)

    Text votes are a lottery, if you organise your supporters you have a good chance of winning.

    I'm glad Rory won.

    We were deserving championship winners though and it shouldnt have to take a Grand Slam... we've won 2 grand slams compared to 10+ championships
    Role of Vile Nugent had nothing to do with the award....

    Since Ryle Nugent became Head of Sport RTE have lost all the Rugby rights (except the Six Nations). Considering the interest level in the sport it doesn't get more than it's fair share of coverage on RTE.

    Not disputing we were champions but the outcome was by accident rather than design and certainly not the result on a coaches master stroke/strokes.
    TBF England would have been even more deserving champions. Their display on that final matchday was professionalism at its best, albeit against an average Italian side.

    Jimmy Magee on RTE Sports Awards, when discussing Katie Taylor, mentions Flojo as one of the all time greats of women in sport. Unforgivable, but not surprising given his attitude towards Michelle Smith.

    Also, no sign of the Irish 4x400 relay team in the nominees for Team of the Year. I mean they only came 5th in fecking Europe, and broke the national record twice in two days!

    The big prize goes to Daragh Moloney for his top class MC presentation. Mark my words, RTE will not be able to hang on to this man much longer as SKY and BBC will offer him lots of lolly.
    I'm glad that an egg ball didn't win team of the year also and my choice would have been the Mayo football team who keep coming back for more year after year despite being rode by bent referees and downright bad luck.
    I'm amazed that Mick O Dwyer didn't feature in the manager of the year award...........LOL

    If we're going to play this game my vote for team of the year would be the Dublin footballers, just that good they were going to win at least 5 in a row......
