dcro 10,172 Posted February 15, 2017 #577 Share Posted February 15, 2017 How on earth could Wayde van Niekerk and Fijian rugby team be nominated for the breakthrough of the year? #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, unlike Fiji rugby team and Wayde van Niekerk, he went from being second to first. Small as it is, it's still a breakthrough. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
