**When Hamish Watson was named Guinness Six Nations player of the tournament, the tens of thousands of fans who voted for him were only confirming what Edinburgh supporters and PRO14 observers already knew.** The flanker impressed throughout the tournament, from Scotland's first victory at Twickenham for 38 years right up until helping Gregor Townsend's side to a maiden win in France this century. Watson was omnipresent during those games, throwing himself into tackles, excelling at the breakdown and carrying the game forward at every opportunity. The elite ball carrier's all-action style has earned him the nickname 'Pinball' for his ability to bounce off tackles in the loose and his wizardry was also in evidence while scoring a try against Ireland and earning a man-of-the-match award against Italy.
