Irish trio make player of the Six Nations shortlist

Caelan Doris, Hugo Keenan and Mack Hansen in contention for award.

THREE IRISH PLAYERS have made the shortlist for the Guinness Six Nations player of the championship award. 

Back row forward Caelan Doris, full back Hugo Keenan and winger Mack Hansen have all been named as nominees for the award, thanks to their standout performances throughout the championship.

They are joined on the shortlist by three French players, including last year’s winner Antoine Dupont, who is in contention to win the award for a third time.

Thomas Ramos, the France full back, and winger Damian Penaud, complete the list of six names that will be put to a fan vote this week.

The shortlist is based on nominations from media across each of the six nations competing in the championship, as well as factoring in votes from fans for the players they want to see in the team of the championship.

Fans can vote here. Voting will be open until 6pm on Wednesday, with the winner announced on Friday.

    The population of France is ~68 million, I know they don’t all watch rugby union but seems a bit unfair.

    @Mentis Green: Neither was it fair when France threw 30 million on World Rugbys desk and suddenly came from least fancied to selection process winners. First country to ever offer money like that.
