Wales dominate Six Nations Player of the Championship shortlist
By Christopher Devine
Captain Alun Wyn Jones is one of four members of Wales' Grand Slam-winning team on a six-man shortlist for the Six Nations' Player of the Championship award.
Jones - Wales' inspirational skipper who earned his 134th Test cap in the victory over Ireland on Saturday - is joined by a trio of backline team-mates in Josh Adams, Liam Williams and Hadleigh Parkes.
The quartet all played key roles as Warren Gatland's men completed a clean sweep of wins for the third time under the New Zealander.
England's Jonny May and Tom Curry round off the shortlist.
May was the top try-scorer in the championship with six, while 20-year-old flanker Curry was arguably the breakout star of the tournament, excelling in the number seven shirt for Eddie Jones' side.
Jacob Stockdale of Ireland won last year's award, with Scotland's Stuart Hogg collecting the honour following each of the two previous campaigns.
Fans will again select this season's winner and have until Wednesday to vote.

we need a damaging 12 that takes 2 men to tackle that will take pressure off the 10 while also creating space for the 10 and 13 . Leicester is the only guy that fits the mould . The next thing is " will he be able to develop a good offload " ? .
for 13 Joey manu has more x factor then reiko and jordie put togeather . he's got one season in japan before he looks to come home . he's a dark horse but his skill set is something the All Blacks don't have . if he comes home and lights up the npc in a game or 2 , id love to see him fast tracked and come off the bench for the All Blacks and thrown into the deep end to see if he can swim . Just to see if he's worth the time and effort to develop further . We all saw how good sualii did for the wallabies and joey manu is just as good as sualii . He's safe under the high ball , a solid defender , has a master offload , and he's fast and strong .
he fits the mould for razor's offload tactics .
Plus reiko and jordie have had the 12 & 13 for how long and I haven't seen anything special from either of them .
