The champions lead the way…

Ireland’s Johnny Sexton, Conor Murray, Jacob Stockdale and Keith Earls have all been nominated for Six Nations Player of the Championship this year.

All four played a pivotal role in Ireland’s Grand Slam success and are joined by Italy’s Matteo Minozzi and France’s Guilhem Guirado on the official six-man shortlist.

There’s no room on the list for Stuart Hogg, who has won the prestigious award for the last two consecutive years.
