Parling said: “It is an honour to be nominated by my team-mates in what has been a very promising but frustrating season at the same time. Hopefully this year will stand us in good stead for the future and help us develop further as a team.”
Youngs, who earned his first senior cap during this season’s autumn internationals, said: “It's a massive honour to be recognised by my fellow players because they are the ones who really know what goes on on the pitch. I also feel proud to be nominated alongside Geoff and Joe who are outstanding players and I am proud to have as my team-mates.”
The RPA Computacenter Players’ Awards are presented on Wednesday, May 22 at Battersea Evolution.
