Four Six Nations Player of the Tournament Nominee's Announced

The quartet of Louis Bielle-Biarrey, Tommaso Menoncello, Tommy Freeman and Blair Kinghorn has been shortlisted for the individual accolade, having been selected by the highest amount of people in the fan vote for the Guinness Team of the Championship

LOUIS BIELLE-BIARREY (FRANCE, BORDEAUX BÈGLES)

The 21-year-old winger scored eight tries this year – the record for a player in any edition of the Championship, overtaking Jacob Stockdale’s tally of seven in 2018.

Bielle-Biarrey also assisted four tries, with his 12 try involvements being the most of any player in the Guinness Men’s Six Nations. No other player has recorded more than nine in a campaign, with Antoine Dupont (two tries, seven assists) also reaching that tally this year (also Jonny Wilkinson in 2001, Will Greenwood in 2002, George Ford in 2015).

TOMMASO MENONCELLO (ITALY, BENETTON)

Last year’s Guinness Player of the Championship picked up where he left off from in 2024. The centre scored twice in this year’s campaign, and carried for over 320 metres.

Menoncello made more breakdown steals (three) and tackles (59) than any other back in the competition, underlining his prowess as a dual threat across the park.

TOMMY FREEMAN (ENGLAND, NORTHAMPTON)

Like Bielle-Biarrey, wing Freeman scored a try in all five rounds in this year’s campaign – a feat that hadn’t been achieved since Philippe Bernat-Salles in 2001.

Freeman also ranked second across all the teams for line breaks (eight) as he helped England to their best finish in the Championship table since 2019.
