Wales may have finished fourth in the RBS 6 Nations, but two players still have the opportunity of coming out on top in race for the RBS Player of the Championship.

Ospreys fly half James Hook and Cardiff Blues flanker Sam Warburton are in the running to pick up the award, but they need YOUR vote.

Fans can vote by logging on to www.rbs6nations.com but the voting finishes at 5pm this afternoon.

Since the voting began, the RBS 6 Nations website has seen fans racing to nominate their chosen player. Going into the last round of matches, Italy’s players were topped the leader board with Andrea Masi dominating since the competition opened with 21% of the votes.

The full shortlist of 12 players is: Fabio Semenzato (Italy), Toby Flood (England), Chris Ashton (England), Sean O’Brien (Ireland), Sam Warburton (Wales), Ronan O’Gara (Ireland), Andrea Masi (Italy), Maxime Medard (France), James Haskell (England), James Hook (Wales), Tom Palmer (England), Thierry Dusautoir (France).
