The 24-year-old scored three tries, including a double during the opening weekend victory against Ireland.

He continued to be his team's main attacking threat throughout the tournament, playing a key role as the Scots went on to secure wins over Wales and Italy.

Hogg secured 24 percent of the public vote with Ireland back-row forward CJ Stander in second place.

"To receive this award again is an absolute honour, particularly when you take other players on the shortlist into account," Hogg said.
