FRANCE WINGER LOUIS Bielle-Biarrey has been crowned Guinness Men’s Six Nations player of the tournament for the second successive year.
Bielle-Biarrey becomes the first player to retain the award since his France teammate Antoine Dupont in 2023, and only the fourth player to win the accolade multiple times.
He was voted the winner ahead of fellow nominees on the shortlist – Ireland’s Stuart McCloskey, Italy’s Tommaso Menoncello, and Scotland’s Kyle Steyn – with 44% of the fan votes going to Bielle-Biarrey.

The flying winger bagged nine tries in this year’s tournament, bettering his tally of eight that he had set last season, a then record number across a single Six Nations.
The Bordeaux-Bégles player scored two tries in France’s opening round success over Ireland, contributed one try apiece against Wales, Italy and Scotland, before starring in the dramatic final night victory over England, his four tries helping secure the win that delivered the title for France.

“I’m just really happy, honestly,” said Bielle-Biarrey.
“It’s yet another reward for the team’s hard work throughout the tournament.
“We were able to defend our title. Winning the tournament two years in a row is no small feat. We’re very happy to have done it.”
