Caelan Doris, Jimmy O’Brien and Josh van der Flier have been nominated for the EPCR European Player of the Year award.

Leinster Rugby are the only team to have three representatives on the 15 man list.

Jimmy O’Brien recently became the first player to score four tries for the club in a European fixture when he starred in the comprehensive Round 4 victory over Bath Rugby.

Josh Van Der Flier and Caelan Doris played key roles for Leinster and Ireland throughout 2021, as Leinster reached the semi final stage of the Heineken Champions Cup.

The voting will then re-open and the winner of the 2022 award will be announced following the Heineken Champions Cup final in Marseille on Saturday, 28 May.
