Edinburgh wing king Tim Visser received recognition at the Magners League Awards in Kildare on Sunday night, being invited on stage to receive a framed photo of the competition’s Dream Team, in which he features for the second successive year.
Visser was commended for recently breaking the record for the most individual tries in a Magners League season, and for once again topping the tournament’s regular season scoring charts (finishing with 14).
The Dutchman, who will become eligible to play for Scotland next summer, also made it onto the shortlists for the Magners League Players’ Player of the Season and the Try of the Season, his spectacular effort in the win over Ospreys at Murrayfield in March having captured the public imagination.
Visser told www.edinburghrugby.org: “It was a great honour to be asked to collect the team photo on behalf of the Dream Team, and looking down the list of names in the side you realise once again what a privilege it is to have been selected.
“It’s fantastic to be given accolades, because it’s proof that the hard work you do on a daily basis is paying off, but I know I need to keep striving to improve. As a team, we want to do better next season, and that goes for me as an individual as well.”
