England went unbeaten under Eddie Jones, while Saracens recorded a landmark European and domestic double, but how much do you remember from 2016?
Jones took over after England's disastrous 2015 World Cup campaign, and has guided his side to a Six Nations Grand Slam and a series whitewash of Australia. Saracens, meanwhile, swept all before them in Europe before beating Exeter in the Premiership final at Twickenham in May.
Elsewhere, Ireland inflicted defeat on New Zealand in Chicago, after the world champions strung together a record-breaking series of consecutive victories. South Africa, however, suffered their worst year in recent memory, losing to Italy during an autumn international campaign in which they failed to register a win.
Connacht won their maiden Guinness PRO12 title by beating Leinster in the final, while Racing 92 were crowned champions of the Top 14.
