Also on the shortlist were his Les Bleusβ team-mates Thomas Ramos and Damian Penaud and Irelandβs Caelan Doris, Hugo Keenan and Mack Hansen.

Dupont was outstanding at the back end of the tournament, especially in the record victory over England at Twickenham in round four.
The 26-year-old France skipper has been acclaimed despite his side finishing runners up behind Grand Slam winners Ireland.
Andy Farrellβs champions supply 10 players to the team of the tournament, including the entire pack except Les Bleus lock Thibaud Flament.
