Stuart Hogg voted 6 Nations Player of the Championship for the 2nd straight year

Scotland full-back Stuart Hogg has been voted 6 Nations Player of the Championship for the second year running, securing the backing of 29,734 fans - almost one quarter of the public vote.

Former Ireland centre Brian O'Driscoll landed the accolade in both 2006 and 2007, and Hogg has now clinched back-to-back awards thanks to a string of eye-catching attacking performances.

Ireland flanker CJ Stander came second, amassing almost 15 per cent of the votes, while France No 8 Louis Picamoles came third.
