His win continued New Zealand's dominance since 2012, when Dan Carter took the award. Kieran Read won in 2013 before Brodie Retallick the following year and Carter again in 2015.
Rieko Ioane was named the breakthrough player and Michaela Blyde won the women's seven's player award.

Barrett won player of the year for the second time ahead of team-mate Ioane, Owen Farrell (England and British and Irish Lions), Israel Folau (Australia) and Maro Itoje (England and Lions).
Barrett said: "I'm very proud and surprised. I wanted to be better than last year and I still think I have plenty more to go. The Lions series put us under the most pressure I have probably felt in a black jersey and that's a credit to the Lions. We learnt a lot from that series, particularly taking that into the World Cup. When I hang the boots up, that's when I can look back and be really proud of this. I've got to thank my team. I am just one player amongst a great team."

Woodman won the women's award ahead of team-mate Kelly Brazier, Romane Menager (France), Safi N'Diaye (France) and Lydia Thompson (England).
Woodman said: "Obviously just winning the team of the year award shows just how good our team is, and they make me look good; they do all the work and I am out there on the sideline just waiting for the ball. My mum wasn't a big fan of me playing rugby, but I think she was going to support me no matter what and, without them (my parents), I obviously wouldn't be where I am because they pushed me to do everything I can to the best of my ability."
