Cardiff Blues star Josh Turnbull has been rewarded for his fine form throughout the 2020/21 season with a place in the Guinness PRO14 Dream Team.
The utility forward, who completed the most tackles in the Championship this season, is the only Wales-based player to make the final XV.
It’s been a memorable campaign for the Welsh international, captaining Cardiff Blues in recent weeks while also reaching two significant milestones - making his 200th Guinness PRO14 appearance and 150th in Cardiff Blues colours.
A pool of 75-plus media from across the UK, Ireland, Italy and South Africa including reporters, broadcasters, former players and coaches were invited to vote in order to assemble the final XV.
