Exeter Chiefs' Sam Simmonds has been crowned the Gallagher Player of the Season for 2020-21.

The Torquay-born back-rower broke the record for the most tries in a single Premiership Rugby season, with 20. He had already been recognised for an outstanding season with a call-up by the British and Irish Lions for their summer tour of South Africa.

Another chiefs player, Dave Ewers, came third in the list, whilst Harlequins fly-half Marcus Smith came runner up.
