Leinster utility back Jordan Larmour and new Munster lock Tadhg Beirne have both been nominated for awards at the PRO14's Season Launch Party in Glasgow on Monday evening.

Beirne has been nominated for the The Guinness Players’ Player of the Season award alongside Scarlets centre Hadleigh Parkes and Leinster winger James Lowe while Larmour will contest The Honda Young Player of the Season award alongside Edinburgh's Blair Kinghorn, Zebre's Matteo Minozzi and Cardiff's Jarrod Evans. Meanwhile double winning coach Leo Cullen has been nominated for the The Guinness PRO14 Coach of the Season award with Edinburgh's Richard Cockerill and Treviso's Kieran Crowley rounding out the nominations. The nomination for Beirne adds to his EPCR Player of the Year shortlisting from last season while for Larmour it's deserved recognition for a fantastic debut campaign where he claimed a Champions Cup winner's medal and a PRO14 title with Leinster while he also won a Six Nations title, a Grand Slam and a series win in Australia with Ireland.
