Bielle-Biarrey voted best player of Six Nations for second time
France winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey has been voted best player of the Six Nations Championship for the second season running, organisers announced Thursday.
Scorer of 29 tries in 27 internationals for France, Bielle-Biarrey set a record of nine tries in the recently-completed Six Nations won by Les Bleus.
That included four tries in the nail-biting 48-46 victory over England in the final match of the Championship.
The previous record of eight tries in one championship was shared between Bielle-Biarrey (2025), England's Cyril Lowe (1914) and Scot Ian Smith (1925).
The 22-year-old Bordeaux-Begles player is also alone in having scored at least one try in every match of the last two Six Nations.
Bielle-Biarrey was up against Italy centre Tommaso Menoncello, Ireland centre Stuart McCloskey and Scotland winger Kyle Steyn for the accolade.
