Brumbies' best: Rory Arnold wins Brett Robinson award for Super season
READ MORE
Seeing Rory Arnold win the ACT Brumbies’ top prize on Friday night could become a light-bulb moment for Wallabies selectors as the giant lock attempts to force his way back into the Test side.
Arnold was recognised as the best Brumbies player of the year at the club’s end of season function, becoming the first second-rower in history to win the Brett Robinson Award on an emotional night for the players.
The Brumbies farewelled retiring duo Ben Alexander, the club’s most-capped player, and Andrew Smith, as well as saying goodbye to departing general manager of professional rugby Damien Hill.
But Arnold was the toast of the night, capping the best season of his four-season career with the best and fairest award on the eve of a National Rugby Championship match that doubles as a Wallabies selection trial.
Many regard Arnold as the most unlucky player in Australian rugby at the moment, left out of the past two Tests against New Zealand and unable to earn a Wallabies cap so far this year.
