France winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey has won the Player of the Championship award after his starring role in the 2026 Men's Six Nations.
It is the second year running the 22-year-old has received the best player accolade.
He shone in his country's title win - including in the decisive final game against England, where he ran in four tries to help seal back-to-back titles for the French.
The Bordeaux Begles man secured 44% of fan votes to claim this year's award, with a record 151,525 supporters having their say.
Italy centre Tommaso Menoncello, Ireland centre Stuart McCloskey and Scotland wing Kyle Steyn were also on the shortlist.
Bielle-Biarrey set a record for the number of tries scored in a single Six Nations last season, with eight - and he went one better in this year's campaign, crossing the line nine times.
He is already fifth in the rankings of all-time leading try-scorers in the championship.
"I'm just really happy, honestly. It's yet another reward for the team's hard work throughout the tournament," Bielle-Biarrey 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."
