Hougaard named in BT Sport Aviva Premiership Dream Team

Francois Hougaard has been named in the 2015/16 BT Sport Aviva Premiership Rugby Dream Team after a sensational start to his Warriors career.

Hougaard arrived at Sixways in February and produced a man-of-the-match performance on his debut as he scored a try and helped Warriors defeat Sale Sharks at Sixways. 

He soon inspired Warriors to produce their best form of the season as they recorded five wins in his first six games – a run which included a Club-record four consecutive Aviva Premiership victories.

And Hougaard was then recognised for his impact as he became Warriors’ first-ever Aviva Premiership Player of the Month when he picked-up the March award.

The Dream Team was named at Wednesday's Aviva Premiership Rugby awards ceremony in London and also included the likes of Alex Goode, Charles Piutau and Gareth Steenson.
