France winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey has been named player of the tournament for the 2025 Six Nations in recognition of his record-breaking campaign.
The 21-year-old scored eight tries – a record in a single championship – as France lifted the title for a 19th time.
Bielle-Biarrey saw off competition from England back Tommy Freeman, Scotland full-back Blair Kinghorn and Italy centre Tommaso Menoncello to win the individual award with a 65% share of the fans’ vote.
“I’m very happy to have won this trophy and that the fans voted for me,” said Bielle-Biarrey.
“My parents signed me up for rugby when I was five years old. Straight away, I really liked it, it is a childhood dream today to be able to live my passion.
“This trophy is also a great reward for all the hard work from the French team and it is the conclusion of a very good tournament for us.”
The Bordeaux Begles winger also won the Try of the Championship prize for his second score in a crucial victory over defending champions Ireland in Dublin on 8 March.
The following week France claimed their first title since 2022 with a 35-16 win against Scotland.
