Jack Carty named out-half in Pro14 Dream Team

The Connacht star is one of seven Irish-based players in the tournament’s team of the year.

LAST UPDATE | 23 May 2019

THE DREAM TEAM for the Pro14′s 2018/19 season was unveiled this evening, with seven Irish-based players included in the top XV.

Three players make the side for a second year running: second row combination Scott Fardy and Tadhg Beirne with Ulster’s John Cooney earning himself the scrum-half slot again

Cooney’s former Connacht team-mate Jack Carty takes the number 10 role ahead of Glasgow’s Adam Hastings after a brilliant season which also featured his first international cap.

The Sportsground also provides the Dream Team openside with Colby Fainga’a named at 7 alongside Peter O’Mahony and Edinburgh’s Bill Mata.

Ulster centre Stuart McCloskey completes the Irish contingent, seeing off tough competition from nominees Bundee Aki and Willis Halaholo (see the full list of nominees here) after powering a resurgent season for Ulster under Dan McFarland.

With minimum-appearance considerations in play, Pro14 finalists Glasgow match Leinster’s single call-up to the Dream Team as tighthead prop Zander Fagerson gets the nod.

    Poor effort on the translation and you use the Sun in connection with a Liverpool story. Should have given this task to someone else.

    Ah yes… Klopp has just reunited every English club. It’s even better than England progressing to the World Cup knock out stages. But this time it actually may be coming home … to Anfield!

    Last night was magical. Football has become so commercialized and lost a lot of it’s soul, but last night reminded us what it can be at it’s best. Am hearing reports that Phil Coutinho’s Barca career is in big trouble, penny for his thoughts?
