Munster Rugby back-row forward Peter O’Mahony has been nominated for the 2019 EPCR European Player of the Year award, having captained the Irish province into a record 18th European Cup quarter-final after topping Pool 4. The 29-year-old has again been pivotal in Munster’s progress into the latter stages of the competition, having notched 56 tackles and missed just two in 445 minutes of action. He has also shone on the international stage, being named man of the match as Ireland beat New Zealand for the first time on home soil last November.

Players who have not been included in the initial list, but who make a significant impact in a quarter-final or semi-final can be considered for the shortlist. The voting will then be reopened and the winner of the 2019 award will be announced following the Heineken Champions Cup final at St James’ Park on Saturday, May 11. The winner of one of the most prized individual accolades in the world game will receive a specially struck gold medal as well as the Anthony Foley Memorial Trophy. The judging panel includes a wealth of International rugby talent – such as Ireland legend Brian O’Driscoll (BT Sport), ex-South Africa wing Bryan Habana (Channel 4) and former France scrum-half Dimitri Yachvili (beIN SPORTS).
