A new Guinness Six Nations Player of the Round award each week will give fans the chance to vote for the player they feel was the top performer on each of the five weekends of Championship action during 2019.

With three hotly-contested fixtures each weekend, the new vote will give fans an important role in recognising excellent player performance.

A panel of independent journalists will nominate their picks before voting begins on the shortlist, with the fan vote ultimately deciding the winner each week.

The list of nominated players will go live on guinnesssixnations.com shortly after each round concludes, with fans getting to pick from a selection of six players over the following 24 hours.
