Three Ireland players are among the nominations for this season’s Guinness Six Nations player of the championship.
Full-back Hugo Keenan, wing Mack Hansen and back-row forward Caelan Doris have all made the six-strong list.
It comes following Ireland’s Grand Slam triumph, which they achieved with victory over England in Dublin on Saturday.
Irish players have won the prestigious award on seven previous occasions, with Brian O’Driscoll the only person to land it three times.
