Three Springboks cracked the nod in the World Rugby Team of the Year named on Sunday evening.Midfielders Lukhanyo Am and Damian de Allende, and hooker Malcolm Marx, were the South African representatives named in the prestigious line-up.Am was also nominated for the Player of the Year accolade but missed out to Ireland flank Josh van der Flier.The rest of the XV comprises players from Ireland (4), France (2), England (2), New Zealand (2), Argentina (1) and Australia (1).Surprisingly to some pundits, there was no spot for Springbok lock Eben Etzebeth, while All Blacks No 8 Ardie Savea can also feel aggrieved.

Bok skipper Siya Kolisi was also in with a shot, but he was omitted at the expense of Argentina's Pablo Matera.World Rugby Men's Team of the Year (15-1): 15 Freddie Steward (ENG), 14 Will Jordan (NZL), 13 Lukhanyo Am (RSA), 12 Damian de Allende (RSA), 11 Marika Koroibete (AUS), 10 Johnny Sexton (IRL), 9 Antoine Dupont (FRA), 8 Gregory Alldritt (FRA), 7 Josh van der Flier (IRL), 6 Pablo Matera (ARG), 5 Sam Whitelock (NZL), 4 Tadhg Beirne (IRL), 3 Tadhg Furlong (IRL), 2 Malcolm Marx (RSA), 1 Ellis Genge (ENG)The 2022 Men's 15s Dream Team of the Year in partnership with @Capgemini:????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????#WorldRugbyAwards pic.twitter.com/7pZuVZ9UQc
