O'Driscoll wins top player award

Ireland's Grand Slam winning captain Brian O'Driscoll is the RBS Player of the Championship for the 2009 RBS 6 Nations.

On receiving the trophy, Brian said: "It has been such an immense week already and to be named the RBS Player of the Championship is a fantastic end to what has been a phenomenal Championship.

"This year's RBS 6 Nations has been a special tournament for me and the team for lots of reasons - it's been fantastic for Irish rugby and for the whole country.

"To be voted RBS Player of the Championship by the fans makes it extra special but I'm really proud of our team effort right the way through the tournament and I would not be in this position if it was not for my team mates.

"The support of the fans throughout our campaign has been unwavering and a huge part of the team's success on the pitch - I'm just glad we could reward them too by bringing home the Grand Slam."
