The four players topped the performance statistics charts this year, and the winner is set to be decided by a fan vote (more info here).
Bielle-Biarrey registered eight tries – the most by any player during the Six Nations era, overtaking Ireland’s Jacob Stockdale’s seven tries in 2018.
Freeman was similarly prolific, scoring a try in each match of the Championship.
Menoncello made 59 successful tackles and secured three breakdown steals — more than any other back — in addition to scoring two tries.
Kinghorn’s influence was palpable — he managed 857.9 metres carried, 86 carries, and 13 offloads, amassing 574.6 gained metres throughout the Championship.
Previous award winners include Ireland’s Brian O’Driscoll and France’s Antoine Dupont.
