Vodafone Flying Fijians stars Nemani Nadolo and Leone Nakarawa have been named in the Planet Rugby 2015 15's line up after hours of debate.

Planet Rugby, a dominant Rugby website that operates around the world assessed the year’s action from the Six Nations through to the Rugby World Cup, including domestic action in the European Cup and Super Rugby.

Crusaders winger Nadolo was seen as the best blind side winger of the year.

He continued where he left off in 2014 for the Crusaders, scoring nine tries, some ridiculous, during their 2015 Super Rugby campaign, and also impressed for Fiji at the Rugby World Cup.

Nadolo combines blistering speed with brute strength and silky skills which made him a handful for defenders in 2015.

Other nominees were Julian Savea and Juan Imhoff of Argentina.

Meanwhile Glasgow Warriors lock Leone Nakarawa beat some of the best locks in the world including Sam Whitelock and Irish great Paul O'Connell.

The 27-year-old who is known as the “Offload King” is second only to Sonny Bill Williams when it came to offloads at the World Cup and instrumental in Glasgow winning the PRO12 title.

The other players who was named in the list including Ben Smith, Nehe Milner‑Skudder, Jonathan Joseph of England, Ma'a Nonu, Dan Carter, Aaron Smith, David Pocock, Francois Louw of South Africa, Scott Fardy, Alun Wyn Jones of Wales, Rabah Slimani of France, Dane Coles and Marcos Ayerza of Argentina.
