The No.8 was a key figure for France, excelling in each game and earning the man of the match award in the defeat to England at Twickenham.

Picamoles’ nomination came on the back of a statistical analysis by Accenture, official technology partner of the Six Nations, who worked with former South Africa and Italy coach Nick Mallet to draw up the 12-man shortlist.
