And for some Bordeaux, the season was even more beautiful, like Louis Bielle-Biarrey, winners of the Six Nations Tournament with the XV of France. A coronation to which LBB, which was elected best player in the competition, particularly contributed after having offered the test record by equaling the performance of another time by English Cyril Nelson Lowe (1914) and the Scottish Ian Smith (1925).
Damian Penaud, after having achieved the feat of scoring six tries during the same match against the Sharks, took advantage of the tournament to become the best scorer in the history of the XV of France, on the same line as Serge Blanco. With 27 trials during the season, the former Clermontois is only preceded by one man: Louis Bielle-Biarrey, author of 33 tries in 29 matches in all competitions.
