THREE Ospreys and two Scarlets have been included in the RaboDirect Pro12 team of the season.
After the regular 2012-13 campaign came to an end on Friday night, the Scarlets are the only Welsh side to have qualified for the end-of-term play-offs.
But five members of the Wales team which won this year's Six Nations have been named in the Pro12's dream team, with Adam Jones, Alun Wyn Jones and Justin Tipuric representing the Ospreys and George North and Jonathan Davies featuring for the Scarlets.
The Ospreys and Scarlets also picked up one title each in the Pro12 awards ceremony.
The Scarlets were named the Rhino Collision Kings after a panel of experts assessed their tackling and efficiency at the breakdown, while Alun Wyn Jones won the RaboDirect Straight Talking award.
Ulster, who finished the regular season at the top of the table and will host the Scarlets in the play-off semi-finals, were the biggest winners.
The Northern Irish province's No. 8 Nick Williams was crowned players' player of the year, while 22-year-old centre Luke Marshall was named young player of the year.
