After Leinster Rugby became the first team to complete a Guinness Pro14 and Champions Cup double, the Irish province captured three of the awards on the night. Head Coach Leo Cullen took home the Guinness Pro14 Coach of the Season award, Jordan Larmour won the Honda Young Player of the Season, while Barry Daly was recognised as the Championship’s top try-scorer for last season.

The Guinness Players’ Player of the Season was won by Tadhg Beirne for his performances in the Scarlets jersey. The Ireland international has since joined Munster.

Former Dragons back-row, Ed Jackson, received the Guinness Pro14 Chairman’s Award in recognition of his recovery from a serious spinal injury and subsequent charity work. Jackson, 29, was forced to retire from the game last year.

Fred Zeilinga won the Gilbert Golden Boot with his accuracy of 85.37% outshining all of the other place-kickers in the Guinness PRO14 in 2017/18. Kickers need a minimum of 30 attempts on goal to qualify for the category.

Olly Robinson of the Cardiff Blues was the first winner of the Guinness Pro14 Tackle Machine Award. Players who made 200 successful tackles or more were eligible and the award was given to the player with the highest completion percentage. Robinson made a total of 243 tackles with a tackle completion rate of 94.6%.

The first-ever Guinness Pro14 Ironman Award went to Giulio Bisegni of Zebre Rugby Club.

The Specsavers FairPlay award was won by Scarlets who picked up just two yellow cards across the entire Guinness Pro14 campaign in 2017/18.
