THE SHORTLIST FOR the EPCR European Player of the Year award for 2021 has been announced.
Last month, 15 players — including Leinster quartet Robbie Henshaw, Tadhg Furlong, Josh van der Flier and Hugo Keenan — were revealed as this year’s nominees.
However, after the weekend’s Champions Cup semi-finals, the number of players in the running for the award has been whittled down to five names.
Having seen off Bordeaux-Begles on Saturday, Toulouse trio Antoine Dupont, Julien Marchand and Jerome Kaino — a former All Black — make the cut.
They will face fellow Top 14 side La Rochelle in the final thanks to their victory over Leinster on Sunday.
Ronan O’Gara’s team is represented on the shortlist by Gregory Alldritt and Australian second-row Will Skelton.
Voting has reopened and the winner of the Anthony Foley Memorial Trophy will be announced following the Champions Cup final on Saturday, 22 May.
