Isa Nacewa won the Bank of Ireland Leinster Players Player of the Year at the Annual Awards Ball in the Burlington Hotel on Saturday night.
Nacewa was been a standout performer for Leinster again this season having featured in all but one of the province's games in both the Magners League and Heineken Cup competitions.
The 28-year-old was also awarded the IRUPA Player of the Year award earlier in the week and coach Joe Schmidt hailed Nacewa's outstanding performances over the course of the campaign.
Schmidt said: ‘I would like to congratulate Isa on receiving this award which was voted for by his team-mates in the Leinster squad.
‘Isa’s durability, commitment, experience and rugby talent have seen him perform at a consistently high level in every match he’s played this season.
‘As a leader, Isa is recognised by his peers as one of the benchmark players within the squad.
‘He is professional in all that he does: his recovery, strength and conditioning work, analysis of opponents, attention to detail to improve his own performances.
‘He is utterly committed to the values of the squad and readily shares his knowledge and experience with the younger players.’
Centre Eoin O'Malley (22) was been named the Powerade Young Player of the Lions three years later in South Africa.
