Ireland trio on six-man shortlist for Six Nations award
By PA
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.
That record could be be matched by France captain Antoine Dupont – winner in 2020 and 2022 – who is joined on the short-list by Les Bleus team-mates Thomas Ramos and Damian Penaud.
The winner – to be announced later this week – is decided by a fans’ vote.

You're way off/behind JW. 'Current' not 'Former' analyst firstly.
Yes in that July series tries did reflect the opportunities NZ created, secondly.
Go to commentsWhat do you mean by forced their way through JPM? Into the CC? I didn’t follow the story when SA joined the North at the time - but I doubt SA could have forced much as the North call all the shots. And rightfully so, it is their territory.
SA rugby needs to obviously work on its competitiveness North, and divorcing from the system will only be unnecessarily disruptive for Everyone.
Saw the draws for the CC and EPCR now. I guess the Sharks, Bulls and Stormers will be targeting a win there. Which, strategically, might make more sense in the short term.
