Wales rugby player Shane Williams wins award
Welsh Grand Slam-winning rugby star Shane Williams has been honoured by receiving the RBS Six Nations player of the tournament award.
31-year-old winger Shane Williams made six tries and his score against France was the 41st try of his international rugby career, surpassing Gareth Thomas' Welsh record.
A very proud and happy Shane Williams said: "Being named Player of the Six Nations is a fantastic end to what has been a phenomenal week."
Shane Williams was the clear winner of the Six nations award because he claimed 55% of the 19,000 votes cast on the RBS Six Nations website.
"To be up with the greats in Welsh rugby as the highest try-scorer is incredible. But it isn't about that, it is about winning the Grand Slam," Shane Williams said.
And Wales coach Warren Gatland said: "What has impressed me about Shane Williams is that I can't remember him making a mistake in this tournament."
