On the back of some powerful performances this season, former Leinster lock Bob Casey was named in the Sky Sports Zurich Premiership Dream Team for 2004/05 on Wednesday night.
The 26-year-old, who made his last appearance for Ireland as a second half replacement against Canada in 2000, was chosen for the side by Sky Sports pundits Stuart Barnes and Dewi Morris.
Kildare-born Casey scored his first try for Irish last month in the 25-20 win over NEC Harlequins, has made 21 league starts for the club in 2004/05 and also played all 80 minutes in last weekend’s 23-16 loss at Newcastle.
The bonus point the Exiles picked up at Kingston Park helped them remain in the Premiership – their closing tally of 40 points being just two ahead of the relegated Harlequins.
