    Posted: 24-May-2019 at 7:58am
The Guinness PRO14 Dream Team for the 2018/19 season was revealed on Premier Sports and eir sport after a media vote determined the best performing players from the current campaign.

In total, 11 clubs are represented in a XV where competition in the voting was incredibly close, and only a handful of positions were selected with a clear majority.

Edinburgh, Munster, Connacht and Ulster were the only teams with more than one player in the Dream Team which includes the Guinness Players’ Player of the Season – Bill Mata of Edinburgh.

Rabz Maxwane of the Toyota Cheetahs is another award winner included, the Toyota Cheetahs winger scored a record-equalling 14 tries in the Guinness PRO14 season – nine of them scored away from home – and was voted in as the left wing. 

Only three players from last season’s Guinness PRO14 Dream Team have been selected with the second row pairing of Tadhg Beirne (Munster) and Scott Vardy (Leinster) getting the nod while John Cooney’s impressive performances at Ulster have kept him in the No 9 shirt.

The team was revealed on a TV Special aired by Premier Sports and eir sport on Thursday night (May 23) where Rory Lawson, Sean Holley, Luke Fitzgerald and Murray Kinsella dissected and debated about who deserved their places and who was unlucky to miss out.

Ek's ook bly vir Jaco. Wanneer laas het een van julle van Jaco Kriel gehoor? Ek het half verwag dat hy die wêreld aan die brand gaan speel daar in die noorde.

Lyk nie of Kriel so baie speelkans kry sover ek kan sien nie, maar dan ook pas die velde dalk nie sy spel so goed nie, hy is mos maar aan die kleinerige kant maar sterk en vinnig, so mens kan dink dat droee vinnige velde hom die beste pas, weet nie hoe baie daarvan daar in die Noorde is nie
