Three Scarlets are in the running to be named URC Next-Gen Player of the Season.
The prestigious award is open to players who were aged 23 and under at the beginning of the campaign and who had won no more than five international caps at that point. They also need to have made nine appearances in the league this season.
There are 16 nominees short-listed, with the Play-Off chasing Scarlets leading the way with three in backs Blair Murray, Ellis Mee and Macs Page.
Murray – the joint second top-try scorer in the BKT URC with eight – and Mee both made their international debuts this season, while 20-year-old Page is viewed as one of the rising stars of the Welsh game, having been selected for Wales’s summer tour of Japan.
The Vodacom Bulls, DHL Stormers, Emirates Lions and Edinburgh Rugby all have two nominees – with centre Matt Currie and hooker Paddy Harrison flying the flag for Scotland – while five teams have one player each in the mix.
The winner of the award will be determined by a media vote.
