Will Greenwood names Simmonds and Smith in his Gallagher Premiership team of the season

England and Harlequins legend Will Greenwood has named his Gallagher Premiership team of the season for the Telegraph.

He wrote: “This team is picked from Premiership performances only and players have to have featured in at least 50 per cent of the games to prove their value.

“Apologies to your favourite player that I may have left out. I have religiously watched every game of the season; six games a week, with the 22nd week being played this weekend. 

“There is some science, and a lot of gut in what I have selected. I hope you like the team.”
