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.

Yawn…..!
Game of thrones?
Does this qualify cos it was partially filmed here?
And the winner is…….whoever turns up
Boring
Was domhnail gleeson not the lead actor in ‘frank’? It’s like they would prefer that fassbender would turn up just for the photos.
In fairness the IFTAS are a bit like the Irish Open Golf.Not really worth a whole pile in the grand scheme of things but its nice to see the Irish lads who have done well supporting their own.In fairness Gleason or Fassbender could easily blow it off given that they’re both having huge years. Colin Farrell always makes an attempt to make an appearance.He has True Detective on as well.Daniel Day Lewis who always seems to be at a loose end will probably turn up.Actually does anyone know how he has managed so many Oscar wins? He never seems to leave Ireland.Soarise Roman ect will probably make an outing.Its all a bit twee but if it generates a bit of interest in the Irish film industry and a bit of cash sure how bad.It also allows people who might not usually have access to Hollywood the opportunity .
The IFTA… Are you having a laugh?
I’d say love hate 5 and actors and the director of it will win the awards they are nominated for. I don’t mean mind who wins. Good luck to all
Cillian Murphy has a good shout for his performance in peaky blinders, which was brilliant.
have your say
