The Harlequins and England captain, Chris Robshaw, has been named player of the season at the Aviva Premiership Rugby Awards.

Under Robshaw's captaincy Harlequins finished top of the Premiership table and this Saturday face a home semi-final against Northampton at The Stoop. Robshaw captained England in only his second Test appearance and led the new-look national team to four wins in the Six Nations.

Robshaw's England team-mate Owen Farrell, the Saracens back, picked up the Land Rover Discovery of the season award.

Exeter's Rob Baxter was named QBR director of rugby of the season in recognition of the Chiefs qualifying for the Heineken Cup after only two seasons in the top flight.

Robshaw, despite his international commitments, has played 16 Premiership games and he saw off competition for the award from his Harlequins team-mate Mike Brown, the Leicester flanker Julian Salvi, the Exeter loose forward James Scaysbrook, the Saracens centre Brad Barritt and the Gloucester prop Nick Wood.

"This award is richly deserved," said the Harlequins director of rugby, Conor O'Shea. "What I like about him is that no matter which accolades come his way or what he achieves we all know what comes first with Chris is the team. He wants nothing more than for the team to be successful."
