Scotland flanker Hamish Watson has been announced as the Six Nations Player of the Championship for the recently concluded 2021 edition.

The contest at the breakdown will be under the spotlight at Twickenham on Saturday and Hamish Watson is relishing the prospect of taking on England.

Duhan van der Merwe's departure would have been disappointing for Edinburgh and with potential suitors also interested in Hamish Watson, the Pro14 club couldn't afford to let another Scotland international leave BT Murrayfield.

Scotland international Hamish Watson says it is ‘nice’ to see his name mentioned in relation to next summer’s British and Irish Lions tour, but he believes any player with selection ambitions must focus on their performances for their club and country.
