Goff Rugby Report has selected its top 50 backs for the fall of 2016.
The observant reader will notice that there are actually 58 backs listed. That's because we couldn't whittle it down any further. Consider the last nine as tied. The players are listed by position, not by quality, so there is no ranking other than being in the Top 50. (Please note that the Salve Regina flyhalf is no relation to GRR Editor Alex Goff.)
Congratulations to all. More awards to come.
