Kvesic makes final six for LV= Cup award
The six finalists of the LV= Breakthrough Player Award have been unveiled - and include Worcester back row Matt Kvesic.
Following a week of tough deliberating between panel members Martin Bayfield (ITV), Gywn Jones (S4C), Ieuan Evans (Sky) and Gavin Mairs (Telegraph), the final six - who were whittled down from a list of 20 hopefuls - includes four English and two Welsh representatives.
2011 IRB Junior Player of the Year George Ford - who kicked six successful conversions to help England Under 20 record an impressive 59-3 win over Scotland on Friday - makes the shortlist, and is joined by U20 team mate, Worcester Warriors' Matt Kvesic. Commenting on his inclusion in the final six, nineteen year-old Kvesic said:
"It's a huge honour to make it to the final six for this award, but rugby's not an individual game and there are always fourteen other players giving everything. The other nominees are all very talented, I've played England Under 20s with JJ and Fordy so I know about their qualities and I've played against the other lads so best of luck to all involved."
