18 Irish-based players are among the 45 nominees for the Pro14 team of the year.
The 'Dream Team' will be revealed tomorrow evening, having been voted on by a panel of over 75 media members, including former players, coaches, and journalists.
Benetton lead the way with seven nominations after a season in which they became the first Italian team to reach the Pro14 knock-out stages.
Scotland's Edinburgh and Glasgow Warriors are next with six nominations apiece. Connacht, Munster, and Ulster have five nominations each, while finalists Leinster have three.
Connacht's half-backs Caolin Blade and Jack Carty are both nominated, as well as centre pairing Bundee Aki and Tom Farrell, and flanker Colby Fainga'a.
Four of Munster's nominees are forwards, Dave Kilcoyne, Tadhg Beirne, Peter O’Mahony, and CJ Stander. Full-back Mike Haley is the other player to get the nod.
Ulster front-rowers Eric O’Sullivan and Rob Herring are joined on the shortlist by Marcel Coetzee, John Cooney, and Stuart McCloskey.
Leinster's nominees are Scott Fardy, Max Deegan, and James Lowe.
The team will be revealed tomorrow night in a TV special broadcast on eir sport 1 at 7pm.
