Leinster Rugby centre Garry Ringrose has been nominated for the 2019 EPCR European Player of the Year award, with his all-action displays having helped the Irish province secure a spot in the Heineken Champions Cup quarter-finals. The 24-year-old Irish international played in all Leinster’s pool stage matches, being named Heineken Man of the Match for his terrific display in their crucial 29-13 victory over Toulouse in Round 5. Ringrose also scored the opening try in Leinster’s 39-17 win over Wasps in Round 6, which enabled them to clinch a home quarter-final against Ulster Rugby at the Aviva Stadium on March 30, live on BT Sport and beIN SPORTS. Furthermore, he has made 209 metres from 77 carries, beaten 21 defenders and executed seven clean breaks and 38 tackles.

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).
