Team of the Season Update
Championship to partner with Championship Clubs Podcast for Team of the Season.
The 2021/22 Championship campaign didn’t just throw up one of the most competitive title races in the league’s history, it also provided a platform for some of the second tier’s most talented individuals to shine, with several players catching the eye of Gallagher Premiership clubs and going on to impress in the top-flight.
This season, the Championship is delighted to be partnering with the Championship Clubs Podcast – a new media channel that shines a light on players, coaches, and clubs alike, as well as giving regular editorial coverage of the league’s latest talking points. Throughout the season, the podcast has run a successful Team of the Week campaign, celebrating the stand-out performers from each round, so with the league campaign now at an end we are thrilled to be working together to announce a joint Team of the Season.
How will It work?
Each day between Wednesday 20 April and Wednesday 4 May, The Championship and The Championship Clubs Podcast will jointly announce a shortlist of four players in each position at 09:00 BST on our respective social media channels, with the winner then revealed at 17:00 BST. With each announcement, there will also be a link to a podcast recording of the panel of experts from the Championship Clubs Podcast discussing the merits of the nominees and why they have chosen each winner.
How can I get involved?
Championship fans are some of the most passionate and knowledgeable fans in the game, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on which players have impressed you the most this season. Even though there won’t be a straight fan vote using Twitter polls, as per previous years, we would love to hear your reaction to each shortlist and winner. So, make sure you get involved in the conversation using #ChampRugby and join in this end-of-season celebration of some of the stand-out performers from an unforgettable Championship campaign.
