The series continues
Louis Bielle-Biarrey is not the type to take his foot off the gas. As in 2025, he still scored in every match of the Tournament. During the meeting against Italy in Lille, he became the only player to score at least one try in each of his last eight outings in the competition, surpassing the Englishman Tommy Freeman (7 consecutive matches). This Saturday against England, he extended his series to ten matches in a row, a great first in history. In the Tournament, we have to go back to France – England in 2023 to see him silent in the scoring zone. An eternity.
“LBB” adds his name a little more to the legend of the XV of France
Since then, the winger has gone behind the line 23 times in 17 matches with the Blues (including November tours), bringing his total to 29 marks in 27 caps (average of 1.07 tries per match). Simply maddening. Unlike last year, the Bordeaux winger particularly distinguished himself in the role of “finisher” in this 2026 edition as evidenced by these four achievements against England where he was at the conclusion of the kicks of Thomas Ramos (7th), Matthieu Jalibert (13th) and Antoine Dupont (66th), the latter having offered him his third try on a jump pass (42nd).
Aside from his phenomenal double acceleration after going down on one knee to open his score against Ireland, he showed himself to be very opportunistic throughout this Tournament, taking advantage of Thomas Ramos’ leg kick for his double against the end of the line, served by Jalibert.
At the big table
No matter the way, the meter is always running at full speed. So much so that in addition to marking the history of the Tournament, “LBB” inscribes its name a little more in the legend of the French XV match after match. On February 15, he entered the top 10 of the best scorers in the history of the Blues with 23 tries, before joining Christophe Dominici at 8e place (25 attempts). With now a total of 29 attempts, he overtook Philippe Bernat-Salles and Émile Ntamack (26) to take 6e place. The top 5 is not far away. And this barrier could quickly shatter. With “LBB”, the numbers move very quickly.
