Cobus Reinach and Franco Mostert were named in the English Premiership Team of the Year for the 2018-2019 season at an awards ceremony in London on Wednesday.
Reinach is the only Northampton Saints player who made the Dream Team, while Mostert is one of four Gloucester representatives – alongside Danny Cipriani, Mark Atkinson and Ollie Thorley – to be included in the elite squad.
