They wrote: "Parisse, the Argentinian-born No. 8 has always shone for Italy despite injuries and the often mediocre performances from his team-mates."

They wrote: "Wilkinson is understandably best remembered for gracing another international rugby tournament, but he left his mark on the Six Nations, too."

They wrote: "O’Connell was the 2015 Six Nations Player of the Tournament after the lock led Ireland to the title. Inspirational as a captain and a dominator of the lineout, age refused to limit O’Connell’s influence."

They wrote: "Williams, the Welsh wing wizard, is at the heart of many of the Six Nations’ most iconic moments, such as the last-minute winning try in the 2010 match against Scotland. Twenty-two tries places the flyer third on the all-time list of scorers in Europe’s premier international competition, going back to the 1880s.

They wrote: "O'Driscoll is the undisputed king of the Six Nations. He has more appearances (65) and more tries in the tournament (26) than anyone else, and he signed off his career with the 2014 title.

"The Ireland legend has a strong claim to be greatest European player of the professional era, and nowhere did he exhibit this better than in the Six Nations, where he has an unmatched record of being named Player of the Tournament on three occasions."
