Genuinely pleased for the player, cas and the game in general.
Would have been gutted if Tomkins had won, as i dont think he plays the game in the right spirit.
I have concerns over his involvement in the England squad, and perhaps this award may make him more coveted by the big clubs (not forgetting contracts and UK border agency)
Finishing on a positive, i think its good for the game when a player from a club that finished out of the top eight can still get the recognition rather than players from the usual top few teams gaining all the plaudits.
Well done Rangi!
