Motions — World Rugby Awards 2017—Black Ferns’ Success
I seek leave to move a motion without notice or debate on the Black Ferns being named world rugby team of the year.
💬 Mr SPEAKER: Leave is sought for that purpose. Is there any objection? There appears to be none.
I move, That the House congratulate our winners at the World Rugby Awards 2017, in particular the world-champion Black Ferns, team of the year, and first ever women’s team to take out that title.
I also take this opportunity, on behalf of the House, to congratulate Portia Woodman, women’s player of the year; Rieko Ioane, breakthrough player of the year; Michaella Blyde, women’s sevens player of the year; and Beauden Barrett, Hurricane, men’s player of the year.
Yes, and I think the member took a liberty with the leave.
Motion agreed to.
