Louis Bielle-Biarrey has been named the 2026 Guinness Men’s Six Nations Player of the Championship after starring in France’s title-winning campaign.
The France winger beat a shortlist that included Ireland’s Stuart McCloskey, Scotland’s Kyle Steyn and Italy centre Tommaso Menoncello, completing back-to-back wins after also taking the award in 2025.

Bielle-Biarrey secured the 2026 prize after collecting 44 percent of the fan vote. Tournament organisers said more than 151,000 votes were cast during the one-week voting period, underlining the scale of support behind the France wing after another standout championship.
The 22-year-old now joins a small group of players to win the award in consecutive seasons, with Antoine Dupont also having achieved that feat for France.
France Winger Sets New Six Nations Try Record
The Bordeaux-Begles back finished the 2026 championship with nine tries in five matches, setting a new record for a single Men’s Six Nations campaign.
He had already broken the previous mark of eight, which he set himself in 2025. His overall contribution went well beyond finishing, with strong attacking numbers across the tournament highlighting his influence in France’s backline.
