A new award for the “LBB” rocket, this time individual. Nearly three weeks after the Six Nations Tournament won by the Blues after a breathtaking scenario, winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey was designated as the best player of the competition. 44% of the over 151,000 voters (a record) selected him, according to the Tournament organization. He outperformed the Irishman Stuart McCloskey, the Italian Tommaso Menoncell, and the Scotsman Kyle Steyn, all backs.
The former Grenoble player is consecrated for the second year in a row and enters an exclusive circle. The last player to win this award twice in a row is his captain, Antoine Dupont (winner in 2020, 2022, 2023). After equaling the record for most tries in a single edition in 2025 (8), he surpassed his own record this year with a historic quadruple against the English. “This brings his total to 18 tries in 14 Six Nations matches, placing him 5th in the all-time top try scorers in this championship,” emphasized the Six Nations Tournament organization.
