GUINNESS announce that for the first time, a ‘Player of the Championship’ award will be presented to the best player in this year’s Women’s Six Nations Championship. The announcement comes alongside the news that voting has officially opened for the 2020 GUINNESS SIX NATIONS ‘Player of the Championship’ award.
Excitingly 2020 will not only see the return of this award but will also see the inaugural award of the ‘Player of the Championship’ for the Women’s Six Nations Championship, presented by Guinness.
The Head Coach and Team Captain for each participating Women’s Six Nations team will submit their top three players. The player with the most votes will be announced as the Women’s Six Nations ‘Player of the Championship’, alongside the men’s winner on 6th November 2020.
Mark Sandys, Global Head of Beer at Diageo, said, “2020 has been a year like no other, so being able to conclude both the GUINNESS SIX NATIONS and Women’s Six Nations Championships has been a great triumph. We’ve seen both friendly rivalry and challenges both on and off the pitch, but throughout, rugby fans have been united in their shared love of the game. We’re delighted that the talent in the Women’s Six Nations teams is recognised in the inaugural Player of the Championship award in particular. On behalf of the GUINNESS team, we would like wish all the superb nominees luck ahead of the voting and final decision in the coming days, and I encourage fans to get involved by casting their vote.”
