France’s 42-27 win over Ireland in Dublin on Saturday propelled them into the lead in the Six Nations title chase.<\/b><\/p>\n
But their free-scoring form has not only got the trophy engraver sharpening his tools, it is forcing a rewriting of historic records.<\/p>\n
Wing Louis Bielle-Biarrey’s scorching form has delivered seven tries in four matches – already a record for a Frenchman in a Six Nations campaign.<\/p>\n
With a match to go in this year’s tournament, he is already level with Ireland wing Jacob Stockdale’s record for tries in a single edition of the competition.<\/p>\n
If he crosses again against Scotland in Paris on Saturday, the 21-year-old will turn his sights to the all-time record in the tournament.<\/p>\n
England’s Cyril Lowe and Scotland’s Ian Smith scored eight tries in the 1914 and 1925 championships respectively.<\/p>\n
If he draws level with Lowe and Smith, Bielle-Biarrey will also match compatriot Philippe Bernat-Salles’ unique achievement from the 2001 tournament of scoring in every match.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
