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.
