190 - @LightningRugby's Haineala Lutui has made the most carries of any player in @ThePWR this season (190), gaining 396 metres-in-contact - 86 more than anyone else (Sarah Bern - 310). Selected.

5 - New @RedRosesRugby captain, Megan Jones, is the only player to have both scored and assisted 5+ tries across the 2024 and 2025 @Womens6Nations campaigns (5 tries, 6 assists). Central.

20 - Alex Johnston brought up a record 213 career NRL tries in Round 2, 2026 with his 20th try against the Sydney Roosters, his joint-most against any single opponent. Hare. 🆕 @OptaAnalyst breaks down the numbers behind his incredible feat. theanalyst.com/articles/alex-…

XV- Here is the Opta Team of the Championship for the 2026 @SixNationsRugby powered by the Opta Index. Fantasy. The Head Coach for this team has only picked players to have at least 50% of their game time in the chosen position. Tommaso Menoncello is the unluckiest player to miss out, ranking 8th overall but behind the impressive Stuart McCloskey for the #12 shirt. theanalyst.com/articles/great…

95 - @EnglandRugby’s Ben Earl made 95 carries in the 2026 #M6N, 29 more than any other player – it’s the third year in a row in which he’s been the top carrying forward, with only CJ Stander having carried more often in a single edition (104 in 2017, 96 in 2018). Runner.

100% - @Scotlandteam’s George Turner found a teammate from all 33 of his lineout throws in this year’s Men’s Six Nations, the most throws of any player to maintain a 100% success rate in a single edition of the Championship. Pinpoint.

29 - Antoine Dupont's pair of try assists against England were his 28th and 29th in the Men's Six Nations, moving him to just one behind Conor Murray, who has the most since Italy joined the Championship in 2000 (30). Provider.

227 - @IrishRugby completed 227 tackles against Scotland, their most ever in a men’s @SixNationsRugby match, overtaking the 205 they made against England in 2018 – overall they made 891 tackles in the Championship, more than any other side, and their highest tally in a single edition. Wall.

1.07 - Louis Bielle-Biarrey has scored 29 tries in 27 caps for France. He holds the highest try-per-match ratio in the history of Les Bleus (min. 20 tries): LBB – 1.07 ... D. Penaud – 0.68 P. Bernat-Salles – 0.63 C. Darrouy – 0.58 E. Ntamack – 0.57 Extraterrestrial.

2/405 - Out of 405 matches in Six Nations history, only two have seen both teams score 40+ points. Both occurred in France's final two games of the 2026 tournament: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Scotland 50-40 France🇫🇷 🇫🇷France 48-46 England🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Fireworks.

4 - @FranceRugby's Thomas Ramos scored 74 points in the 2026 Men's Six Nations, over 20 more than anyone else - he is the first player to have been the top points scorer in four consecutive Championships, overtaking Ronan O'Gara's run of three between 2005 and 2007. Streak.

30 - France have neither scored (30, also 2025) nor conceded (19) more tries in a single edition of the Men's Six Nations than they have this year. Contradictory.

29 - A total of 29 tries were scored across today's Men's @SixNationsRugby fixtures, the most on a single day in the Championship's history, overtaking 2015's #SuperSaturday (27). Quantity.

4 - Louis Bielle-Biarrey is the second player to score 4 tries in a #M6N match (also Chris Ashton v 🇮🇹, 2011); he's finished this year's Championship with 9 tries, the most of anyone in a single edition, and has become France's top tryscorer in the Six Nations era (18). Superb.

8 - @FranceRugby have won an eighth men's @SixNationsRugby title since Italy joined the Championship in 2000, more than any other nation, overtaking England (7). Couronné.

109 - There have now been 109 tries scored in this year's Men's Six Nations, the most in a single edition of the Championship, overtaking last year's tally of 108. Entertainment.

7 - Louis Bielle-Biarrey's first-half brace means he has now scored seven tries in this year's #M6N; only Bielle-Biarrey himself has score more in a single edition of the Championship (8 in 2025). Bountiful.
