10) Tom Jordan – Scotland
Question marks were raised before the tournament about how Scotland would cope without their star centre and captain Sione Tuipolotu. However, Tom Jordan was excellent throughout the championship. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a player slip into International rugby with such ease and class. Not only did he give his centre partner Huw Jones that much needed space to run a rampage, but he also got on the score sheet a couple of times himself. Scotland fans have been worried about the future of the Scottish 10 shirt after Finn Russell hangs up his boots. However, with Tom Jordan conducting his rugby in style Scotland supporters can sleep easy.
9) Dan Sheehan – Ireland
In a frankly underwhelming Six Nations campaign from the Irish, Sheehan remained as powerful as ever. He finished the tournament in joint second for number of tries scored alongside Tommy Freeman. A hatrick hero performance against Italy and a lineout success rate of 93%, I believe that Sheehan has nailed down the number 2 jersey for the upcoming Lions tour this summer.
8) Blair Murray – Wales
Murray was a spark of talent in another dismal Welsh campaign. The Fullback was a real threat with ball in hand against every side. He was 5th in the championship in metres gained with 301, and let’s not forget his instrumental agility in what could be the greatest disallowed try of all time against the Scots.
7) Finn Smith – England
Is it too early to say England have found their playmaker? Smith came off the bench in England’s first fixture against Ireland to great effect. You have to wonder if the Northampton man had started that game in Dublin, could England have been challenging for the Grand Slam? Smith was kicking darts throughout the tournament finishing 2nd in successful conversions and was 6th in Total points scored. With Smith in the 10 shirt we saw the cohesion that England have been striving for in recent years.
6) Jac Morgan – Wales
The Welsh captain was immense once again in the red jersey. Leading the field in tackles made with a whopping 88 beating the competition by 10 with his teammate Dafydd Jenkins coming in second with 78. Jac Morgan’s form is giving me a hint of Sergio Parrisses career in a sub par Italy side.
5) Tom Curry – England
Tom Curry had a powerful 2025 Six Nations. The flanker was 2nd in breakdown steals alongside his brother and partner in crime Ben and his back row teammate Ben Earl. Tom seemed to glide across the pitch this year, making the gainline time and time again with powerful carries.
4) Tommasso Menoncello – Italy
Menoncello recorded the highest number of breakdown steals (three) and tackles (59) among all backs in the competition, highlighting his exceptional ability as a dual threat throughout the field. The previous year’s Guinness Player of the Championship continued his impressive performance into The center scored two tries during this year’s campaign and covered more than 320 meters with the ball.
3) Tommy Freeman – England
Similar to Bielle-Biarrey, wing Freeman successfully scored a try in each of the five rounds of this year’s campaign, a remarkable achievement that had not been accomplished since Philippe Bernat-Salles in 2001. Additionally, Freeman secured the second position among all teams for line breaks, totaling eight, contributing to England’s best Championship table finish since 2019. Freeman also achieved 13th in metres carried and 4th in offloads with 7.
2) Blair Kinghorn – Scotland
Fullback Kinghorn achieved an impressive total of 580 metres during this year’s Championship, surpassing the second-placed Marcus Smith by more than 200 metres. This remarkable performance marks the highest distance recorded by any player in a single Championship edition, breaking Mike Brown’s previous record of 543 metres set in 2014. Furthermore, 28 year old Kinghorn led the tournament in carries with 86, which is 33 more than the second-placed Ben Earl, as well as in line breaks with nine and offloads with 13.
1) Louis Bielle-Biarrey – France
The 21-year-old winger achieved a remarkable feat this year by scoring eight tries, setting a new record for any player in the Championship and surpassing Jacob Stockdale’s previous record of seven tries from 2018. In addition to his scoring, Bielle-Biarrey contributed to four other tries, bringing his total try involvements to 12, the highest of any player in the Guinness Men’s Six Nations. No other player has exceeded nine try involvements in a single campaign, although Antoine Dupont matched this figure this year with two tries and seven assists. This achievement is also shared by Jonny Wilkinson in 2001, Will Greenwood in 2002, and George Ford in 2015.
