France's Louis Bielle-Biarrey was named Six Nations Player of the Championship on Thursday for the second successive year after leading his team to the title.
The 22-year-old follows in the footsteps of teammate Antoine Dupont, who achieved the back-to-back feat in 2023. The announcement follows a dominant campaign in which France secured another Six Nations title.
Bielle-Biarrey broke his own record of eight tries set in 2025, crossing the line nine times during the 2026 campaign.
“I’m just really happy, honestly. It’s yet another reward for the team’s hard work throughout the tournament," he said.
"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.”
