London Welsh’s Lyn Jones has been nominated for the Aviva Premiership’s coach of the season award.

Exiles’ head coach Jones is shortlisted for the QBE director of rugby award alongside Richard Cockerill (Leicester Tigers), Mark McCall (Saracens) and Dai Young (London Wasps).

Jones is nominated for his efforts to make Welsh, who play at Oxford’s Kassam Stadium, competitive for much of a season, which will end in relegation.

The winner will be announced at the London Hilton, on May 9.
