O'Connell wins 6 Nations player of championship
Ireland's captain Paul O'Connell

Winning Ireland captain Paul O'Connell was on Friday awarded the Six Nations trophy for player of the championship.
The veteran lock came out on top of a 12-man shortlist ahead of Welsh second-row forward Alun-Wyn Jones, Irish centre Robbie Henshaw, Wales fly-half Dan Biggar and Italy captain and No 8 Sergio Parisse.
"I'm delighted to receive the RBS Player of the Championship Trophy," said O'Connell, who made his 101st Test appearance during the championship won by Ireland in a frenzied final day when 27 tries were scored across three games.
"When you see the names that have gone before, you realise what a great honour it is."
