Rob Horne has been named in the Premiership dream team

Jamie Gibson and Rob Horne, who won Saints' players and supporters' player of the season prizes, both made it into the 15, which contained players from eight of the league's 12 teams.

Gibson was on the six-man shortlist for the Premiership player of the season accolade, but he missed out, with Newcastle Falcons wing Vereniki Goneva claiming the award.

Falcons boss Dean Richards was crowned Premiership director of rugby of the season.
