Antoine Dupont named Six Nations Player of the Championship for third time

France scrum-half Antoine Dupont has been named Guinness Six Nations Player of the Championship for the third time.

Dupont polled 26 per cent of the 138,000 fans who voted, adding the award to his successes of 2020 and 2022 to become only the second player alongside Brian O’Driscoll to complete a hat-trick of wins.

Also on the shortlist were Ireland’s Caelan Doris, Hugo Keenan and Mack Hansen, as well as Dupont's Les Bleus' team-mates Thomas Ramos and Damian Penaud.
