Exeter Chiefs forward Richard Capstick is one of six players who have today been nominated for the RPA’s 15 Under-23 MVP of the Month for September.
The 22-year-old has enjoyed a stellar start to the new season, helping the Chiefs to record victories over Leicester Tigers, Worcester Warriors and Harlequins this month.
A starter in all three games, Capstick has already helped himself to two tries, as well as accruing some impressive on-field stats, including 41 carries, 86 metres made, 26 gainline successes and 34 tackles made.
Now supporters can vote for Capstick to be crowned the RPA’s 15 Under-23 MVP of the Month for September by clicking here.
The campaign runs from September 2022 to April 2023 with the RPA nominating six players aged 23 and under (as of Gallagher Prem Round 1) who shine for their side in all competitions and then each month, fans get to vote for their MVP of the Month.
The whole process culminates in the RPA Players' Board picking their 15 Under-23 from the long shortlist. The team will be announced at the RPA Awards 2023 in May.
