Scarlets prop Wyn Jones has been named as the lone Welshman in World Rugby’s Dream Team of the year.
The loose-head prop played an integral role in Wales’ Six Nations triumph and was named in the team of the tournament, earning himself selection for the British & Irish Lions’ tour of South Africa in the summer.
Players from eight nations – Wales, Australia, England, France, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland and South Africa – have been selected in the Mens 15s Dream Team by the World Rugby awards panel.
The players boast a combined 850 caps for their countries with the world champion Springboks having the most representatives with five, followed by New Zealand with three.
