Another extremely tough decision as to who replaces the shirt vacated by Maro Itoje from last season. 

In the end, the second row most nominated into the Championship Clubs Podcast Team of the Week throughout the campaign gets the rightful nod as Cornish Pirates get a second player selected in the pack. 

We move into the engine room for more hot debate as some real Championship warriors go head-to-head for the number four jersey. 

But it's a first for this year's team in the end as the big bad South African retains his jersey and becomes Ealing Trailfinders' second inclusion into the side. 

We conclude the front row positions with one of the most important positions on the park, tighthead prop. Another four more than deserving nominees split opinion and range between former Premiership stars and potential future top-tier warriors. 

A difficult decision but ultimately, it's a five-time Team of the Week representative from the 21/22 campaign who gets the nod and gives champions, Ealing Trailfinders their first inductee to the Championship Clubs Podcast Team of the Year.  

One of the toughest choices to make in the entire XV as Championship rugby's top try scorer went head-to-head with a rising loan star, a returning Knight and a real Championship warrior with over 150 appearances in the second-tier. 

A hotly fought debate between four more than deserving players eventually concluded with a real friend of the show just edging clear, following an impressive campaign for Steve Boden's side when asked to step up and lead a relatively young pack. 

This season, we've teamed up with Championship Rugby to decide the 2021/22 Team of the Season following a thrilling second-tier campaign which saw the title race go right down to the wire with Ealing Trailfinders just pipping Doncaster Knights and Cornish Pirates to the crown. 

Over the next three weeks, we will exclusively reveal the Team of the Season and the reasonings why each player has been inducted into the team through a series of mini-podcasts, starting with the loosehead prop position. 

Mike, Gully, Gareth Alred and Ross Hancock will all chip in with their opinions along the way as an Islander becomes the first to take a coveted spot in the team after a stunning debut season for Harvey Biljon's side. 

Mike & Gully reflect on a captivating 2021/22 Championship campaign which saw Ealing come out on top in one of the closest title races in recent memories. 

Gully is then joined by Ealing DoR Ben Ward who charts the club’s rise from London 2 to this season’s Championship champions. 

Ward also discusses the ongoing appeals process as Trailfinders continue their attempts to secure promotion into the Premiership for next season. 

Dave Rogers and Gully reflect on another exciting weekend of rugby as the Championship continues its three-horse race finish, before being joined by Ealing Trailfinders enforcer Bobby de Wee.
