Lyn Jones, who valiantly attempted to keep relegated London Welsh in the top flight, has been nominated for the QBE director of rugby of the season award.
Jones (above) won many admirers for producing a competitive squad that won four games, including victories over Exeter and Bath.
Welsh also faced the obstacles of their Premiership status not being confirmed until late June last year, and then having five points deducted for fielding an ineligible player.
Jones is up against Saracens’ Mark McCall, Leicester’s Richard Cockerill and Dai Young of London Wasps with the award being made in London on May 9.
