Ireland captain Paul O'Connell has been named the RBS Player of the Championship after lifting the Six Nations trophy last weekend.
The 35-year-old received 26% of the public vote to take home the gong, while Wales star Alun-Wyn Jones came second out from a 12-man shortlist with 19%.
"I'm delighted to receive the RBS Player of the Championship Trophy," said O'Connell. "When you see the names that have gone before, you realise what a great honour it is. I'm very grateful for all the supporters who voted for me."
Just 0.9% of the votes separated third-placed Ireland's Robbie Henshaw and Wales's Dan Biggar.
