The International Rugby Board has announced a shortlist of four nominees for IRB Sevens Player of the Year.
The IRB Sevens Player of the Year will be announced at Murrayfield Stadium at the conclusion of this weekend’s Edinburgh Sevens (29-30 May), the final event of the 2009/10 IRB Sevens World Series.
The shortlist comprises three Samoans reflecting the Islanders' performances in this year's World Series. They are on brink of their first ever title following consecutive wins in Las Vegas, Adelaide and Hong Kong.
Mikaele Pesamino, Lolo Lui and Alafoti Fa'osiliva will hope to emulate countryman Uale Mai, who scooped the award in 2006.
Also nominated is England’s Ben Gollings (England) who could follow in the footsteps of former teammates Simon Amor and Ollie Phillips, the first and most recent winners of the coveted prize.
