2025 Six Nations: Blair Kinghorn & Tommy Freeman nominated for player’s award

Scotland full-back Blair Kinghorn and England wing Tommy Freeman are among the nominees for the 2025 Six Nations Player of the Championship award.

Kinghorn made a tournament-high 86 carries and nine line-breaks, while Freeman, who started England’s final-round win over Wales at outside centre, became the first Englishman to score a try in each match of a Six Nations campaign.

Both players are contenders for British and Irish Lions selection for their summer tour to Australia after impressing in the tournament.

They are joined on the four-player shortlist by influential France wing Louis Bielle-Biarrey and Italy centre Tommaso Menoncello, who won the award last year.

Top try-scorer Bielle-Biarrey scored eight – the highest number in the Six Nations era – and also made four assists as France claimed the title.

The powerful Menoncello impressed on both sides of the ball for the Azzurri, making three turnovers, the most of any back, and scoring two tries.

The winner will be decided by a fan vote, which closes on Monday, 24 March (22:00 GMT).

The Six Nations Team of the Championship, meanwhile, will be announced on Thursday, 20 March.
