Six Nations:Ireland's Tommy Bowe has been shortlisted as one of six players competing for the accolade of Six Nations Player of the Championship to be decided through a fan's vote.
Unsurprisingly the shortlist is dominated by undefeated Grand Slam hopefuls France, who have four players on the list. Imanol Harinordoquy, Mathieu Bastareaud, Morgan Parra and Thierry Dusautoir all got a nod.
The 2008 winner Shane Williams offers a Welsh representation to the nominations.
A panel of former internationals from all six nations submitted their top three nominations, from which the shortlist of six nominees was compiled. Panelists included BBC Sport pundits Keith Wood, Raphaël Ibañez and Jonathan Davies, Andy Nicol, Ieuan Evans, Jason Leonard and Alessandro Moscardi
The panel was asked to base their decision on performance, form and achievement throughout this year's championship so far.
Despite French Championship victories of 2006 and 2007, Brian O'Driscoll has taken the trophy home to Dublin in three out of the past four years.
The award will be decided as a result of a public vote, hosted on www.rbs6nations.com. Voting will continue through the final week of the championship and will close after the final round of matches at midnight on Monday, March 22nd.
