With the 'end' of the 2008 rugby season, a lot of rugby pundits have looked back and pointed out that Adrian Jacobs has been the star 'find' of the season and a testament to the coachs' faith in the player.
Somebody who I don't think has received enough credit is Ricky Januarie.
If I look back on 2008, the only try I can remember is his chip and chase effort which sealed the first ever Bok win in the "House of Pain" in New Zealand.
Over the weekend, he was good against the English.
Ricky plays an interesting role in the Springbok side in that he has to play second fiddle to Fourie Du Preez. But to have a backup scrummie of his quality is great.
He is a nuggety player who loves to get stuck in and I reckon he gave Ricki Flutey something of a hard time over the weekend whenever the English scrumhalf tried to get some momentum.
His 'bombers' onto the hapless Paul Sackey were brilliant as well.
Ricky Januarie - Definately the underrated player of the season for me...
