The elusive 22-year-old wing or full-back finished in the top 10 of three statistics charts for the group stage of Europe’s elite club competition, where Leinster headed Pool 1 by nine points after winning all six games.

The Irish international was joint third in defenders beaten with his total of 26, fourth in metres made with 399 and joint eighth in breaks with 10.

He was also voted Heineken Man of the Match for his outstanding performance in Leinster’s 50-21 drubbing of Northampton Saints at the Aviva Stadium in Round 4.

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.

Voting for the award is now open HERE and fans will be in the running to win two VIP tickets to the Heineken Champions Cup final in Marseille next May with one night’s accommodation courtesy of EPCR, and a signed jersey of one of the Heineken Champions Cup finalist clubs.

The list will be reduced to five players in early May following the Heineken Champions Cup and Challenge Cup semi-finals by a combination of the public vote and the verdict of the judges, and players who have not been included in the initial list of 15, but who make a significant impact in a quarter-final or semi-final match, may be considered for the shortlist.

The voting will then re-open and the winner of the 2020 award will be announced following the Heineken Champions Cup final at the Stade Vélodrome, Marseille on Saturday, 23 May.

Leinster Rugby back Jordan Larmour has been nominated for the 2020 EPCR European Player of the Year award after starring in the Irish province’s charge into their fourth consecutive Heineken Champions Cup quarter-final.
