NEWS: France wing Louis Bielle-Biarrey has been named the 2025 Six Nations Player of the Championship

Bielle-Biarrey featured on a shortlist of four players in the running for the coveted title.

England back Tommy Freeman, Scotland fullback Blair Kinghorn, and the reigning Player of the Championship, Italy centre Tommaso Menoncello, were named alongside Bielle-Biarrey.

In the same way Bielle-Biarrey scorched ahead towards the tryline during this year’s Championship, rugby fans adopted this approach with their votes, with the France star earning 65 percent of the 121,400 votes cast in a one-week period.

The 21-year-old Bordeaux Bègles and France star lit up this year’s Championship on his way to being part of the side to win this year’s Six Nations title.

The wing broke records in the process, including a try-scoring record that has stood since 2018 when he took his tally of tries to eight, making him the player with the most tries in a Championship during the Six Nations era.

Bielle-Biarrey’s highlights reel of tries during the 2025 tournament also boasts this year’s Try of the Championship, which came in Round Four of the Championship against Ireland.

“I’m very happy to have won this trophy and that the fans voted massively for me,” Bielle-Biarrey said.

“My parents signed me up for rugby when I was 5 years old. Straight away, I really liked it, it is a childhood dream today to be able to live my passion.

“But there were other records broken during this Six Nations, not just by me, and 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.”

Louis-Bielle-Biarrey joins a roster of famous names to have claimed the award, including his France teammate and captain, Antoine Dupont, who has three awards to his name. Ireland legend Brian O’Driscoll, and last year’s winner, Italy centre Tommaso Menoncello.
