The 20-year-old inside centre or fly-half has belied his age by winning two Heineken Man of the Match awards in his best European campaign so far.

In both those games – the 23-9 Round 3 home win over Montpellier and 35-14 Round 6 victory over Gloucester Rugby at Stade Ernest Wallon – Ntamack scored a brace of tries.

With the young French international having also touched down in the 26-18 Round 4 triumph at Montpellier, he currently shares fourth place in the try-scorers' table.

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.

Toulouse back Romain Ntamack has been nominated for the 2020 EPCR European Player of the Year award after a series of outstanding performances as the French club qualified for the quarter-finals of the Heineken Champions Cup for the third time in three attempts.
