England's Tom Curry is among a group of six players shortlisted for the 2019 World Rugby Player of the Year award.
The 21-year-old is the youngest player in Eddie Jones's squad and also the youngest Red Rose forward to have played at a World Cup.
The breakdown specialist Curry is included on the strength of an outstanding year that has seen him scale fresh heights in Japan, including a man-of-the-match display in the quarter-final rout of Australia.
Curry is joined on the shortlist by Springboks flanker Pieter-Steph du Toit, Wales skipper Alun Wyn Jones, wing Cheslin Kolbe of South Africa, All Blacks back row Ardie Savea and Joe Taufete'e of the USA.
The nominees were chosen by Richie McCaw, John Smit, George Gregan and Brian O'Driscoll and the winner will be named at Sunday's World Rugby awards in Tokyo.
