The Breakthrough Player Award is open to the best Under 23 players in the Anglo-Welsh Cup with shortlisted players named after each round from statistics compiled by the boffins at OPTA. All ten have made a huge impact on the competition.

Adams was nominated after his fantastic performance against Bristol Rugby in November, where his two tries helped Warriors to a 31-25 victory. 

This year the competition is being supported by Citizen Watch UK who will provide the overall winner with the latest Citizen Skyhawk A-T watch and Gilbert who will supply £1,000 worth of kit to a grassroots club of the winner's choice. 

Using OPTA match statistics, a forward and back from each round, along with two players with outstanding overall competition statistics form the shortlist.

Voting closes at noon on Monday 13 March and the winner will be announced prior to the Anglo-Welsh Cup Final which is on Sunday 19 March at Twickenham Stoop.

Launched in 2012, the Breakthrough Player Award celebrates and recognises those young players who have stood out in the tournament with previous winners Jack Nowell, Jonny May, Tom Collins and Ollie Devoto.  

So now it is time for you to get voting…
