The team's underwhelming performance at the World Cup means only Rodney So'oialo of the Kiwis' front-line international performers appears among the leading honours.
Auckland and Blues duo Daniel Braid and Isa Nacewa, the former Fiji back, go up against So'oialo for the 2007 Player of the Year.
Braid is also a nominee for Super 14 Player of the Year, joined by Blues team-mate Isaia Toeava and Highlanders scrum-half Jimmy Cowan.
Auckland, surprise Air New Zealand Cup semi-finalists Hawke's Bay and the national Under-19 team are Team of the Year Nominees.
