Ireland secured their back-to-back Six Nations titles with a 17-13 victory over Scotland at the Aviva Stadium, finishing the tournament five points ahead of second-placed France. This victory followed a surprising 23-22 defeat to England at Twickenham, which halted Andy Farrell’s squad’s quest for consecutive Grand Slams.
Aki concluded this year’s Six Nations campaign with the highest number of carry meters (380) and was tied for the most line breaks (four) among all centers in the competition.
The winner of the Player of the Championship award will be determined by public vote, with voting open until 11pm on Sunday, March 24th.
