Provide three for Dream Team as Gibbins is named captain

-

Gibbins, however, was named captain of the Dream Team.

The Kiwi, who joined Warriors last season, deputised for club captain Ryan Wilson on a number of occasions last season and was last week promoted to co-captain alongside the Scotland backrower for the coming campaign.

After Leinster became the first team from the Championsh­ip to complete a Guinness Pro14 and European Champions Cup double, the Irish province captured three of the awards on the night. Leo Cullen took home the Coach of the Season award, Jordan Larmour won the Honda Young Player of the Season while Barry Daly was recognised as the Championsh­ip’s top try scorer for last season.

Five Leinster players were voted on to the Guinness Pro14 Dream Team: Andrew Porter, Scott Fardy, Jack Conan, James Lowe and Larmour.

The Guinness Players’ Player of the Season was won by Tadhg Beirne for his performanc­es in the Scarlets jersey. The first-ever Guinness Pro14 Ironman Award went to Giulio Bisegni of Zebre Rugby Club. The award recognises the player who accumulate­d the most minutes on the pitch across the 21 regular season rounds. The Italian internatio­nal’s total of 1504 minutes earned him the award.

The Specsavers Fairplay award was won by Scarlets who picked up only two yellow cards across the all of the last Pro14 season. List of Award Winners Guinness Players’ Player of the Season: Tadhg Beirne (Scarlets)
