England's Marlie Packer & Sarah Bern on Women's Six Nations award shortlist

England flanker Marlie Packer and prop Sarah Bern have been nominated for the Women's Six Nations player of the championship award.

France scrum-half Laure Sansus and lock Madoussou Fall are also on a four-woman shortlist.

England beat France 24-12 in a Grand Slam decider in Bayonne on Saturday to claim their fourth title in a row.

The player of the championship - voted for by the public - will be announced on Friday.

Despite not playing against Italy, 32-year-old Packer was named player of the match twice, scored four tries, won nine turnovers - three more than any other player - and had the most carries with 60.

Bern, 24, scored two tries against France and five in the tournament, the joint second-highest tally. She made several eye-catching breaks more worthy of a winger than a prop.

Sansus was not even France's starting scrum-half when the competition began, but her impact off the bench in their opener against Italy was immediate and she quickly emerged as a Six Nations star.

Fall was equally lively, making numerous impressive breaks and shoring up a defence that conceded only six tries in five games.
