The 2026 Six Nations has been confirmed as the tournament’s most prolific attacking edition — a record number of tries across all 15 fixtures — with France supplying five players to The Guardian’s Team of the Tournament. (lefigaro.fr) (theguardian.com)
The championship produced 111 tries in total — an average of 7.4 tries per match across the 15 fixtures. (en.wikipedia.org) That 111 figure was three more than the 108 tries recorded in the 2025 edition, which had itself been the first Six Nations campaign to top 100 tries. (media.sixnationsrugby.com) Louis Bielle‑Biarrey finished as the tournament’s top try-scorer with nine tries, setting a new single‑edition record after scoring four tries in the final against England. (eurosport.fr) Thomas Ramos ended the championship as leading point-scorer with 74 points. (en.wikipedia.org) Ramos also struck the decisive 83rd‑minute penalty that secured France’s 48‑46 win over England in the final round, a match that produced 13 tries and 94 points between the sides. (espn.com) (information.tv5monde.com) Round four’s Murrayfield classic — Scotland 50‑40 France — was a 90‑point, 13‑try game (Scotland seven tries, France six) that materially boosted the tournament try total.
