I am really surprised to be honest although I am genuinely chuffed to bits. It tops off an amazing competition for me and for Wales. To be part of such a talented Wales team and win the Grand Slam in Cardiff on Saturday was incredible in itself but to then be voted Player of the Championship is absolute...

The likes of Toby Faletau, Dan Lydiate and Luke Charteris are world-class players and backs like Aled Brew are very dangerous. These are all guys who can change a game. The Dragons always seem to do well against us so we're under no illusions how tough it's going to be. They will be a different proposit...
