Team of the Six Nations From the Lions in waiting to France's new King Louis
The Guardian
|March 18, 2025
The stars who shone brightest in the 2025 tournament, featuring six Frenchmen, two Currys and a Scottish double
underlined his credentials with a fine display against Ireland. He missed the 2023 World Cup through injury but, at 22, is fast emerging as a player good enough to enhance any midfield. He and Juan Ignacio Brex are a potent combination.
11 Louis Bielle-Biarrey (France) His eight tries broke the record for a single Six Nations campaign, eclipsing Ireland's Jacob Stockdale who scored seven in 2018. The 21-year-old also equalled the all-time championship record, set previously by England's Cyril Lowe and Scotland's Ian Smith in 1914 and 1925 respectively. All hail King Louis.
10 Fin Smith (England) Within the space of a month, the younger Smith has gone from fringe candidate to England's tactical controller. Yes, it helps to be surrounded by fellow clubmates from Northampton but the 22-year-old's poise, decision-making and goal-kicking has more than justified his promotion. Has surely played his way into Andy Farrell's Lions plans.
