Leicester Tigers scrum-half Ben Youngs is one of six nominees for the 2020 Guinness Six Nations Player of the Championship.
The England No.9 capped off an impressive tournament with a Man of the Match performance in the bonus-point victory over Italy in Rome in the final round of the longer-than-usual Championship on Saturday, which included a try double for the Leicester scrum-half in his 100th appearance for his country.
Youngs is nominated alongside England team-mate Maro Itoje, Irish back-rower CJ Stander and French trio Grégory Alldritt, Antoine Dupont and Romain Ntamack.
