Munster's Tom Farrell nominated for Men's Players' Player of the Year
Munster's Tom Farrell has been named as one of the nominees for the OCC Consulting Men's Players' Player of the Year.
Farrell joins Jamison Gibson-Park, Caelan Doris, and his provincial teammate Tadhg Beirne on the prestigious shortlist for the award often regarded as the highest individual honour in Irish men's rugby.
The winner will be the player that has received the most votes from their fellow players in recognition of their peers' efforts and excellence throughout the season. Last year's winner was Bundee Aki.

In the women's category, Dorothy Wall has received a timely morale boost following news of a long-term injury setback, with her teammates nominating her for the OCC Consulting Women's Players' Player of the Year.
Wall is shortlisted alongside Amee-Leigh Costigan, Aoife Dalton, and Niamh O'Dowd, each of whom played pivotal roles in a season of continued progress for the Irish women's side.
Returning to host the awards evening at the Aviva Stadium on May 28th are former players Andrew Trimble and Barry Murphy.
In addition to celebrating on-field excellence, the night will honour off-field achievements, including a special tribute to the Tackle Your Feelings campaign - an initiative backed by hundreds of Rugby Players Ireland's members - ahead of its 10th anniversary later this year.
