6. Most points in a year – 263
Neil Jenkins hit the incredible total in 1999, with Jonny Wilkinson still falling 30 points short in 2003 despite quite the incredible 12 months. Tough to see this record ever being beaten!
7. Most matches in career without scoring a try – 108
All Blacks prop Owen Franks has set a record here which will be tough to beat, especially in an age where props have become stronger ball-carriers.
8. Most siblings to play in a rugby union international match – 5
The most siblings to play in a rugby union international match is 5 and was achieved by Archie, Jack, Frank, George and Max Skofic (all Slovenia) playing for Slovenia against Bulgaria in the European Nations Cup Division Two match at Park Siska, Ljubljana, Slovenia on 12 April 2014.
Archie, George and Frank Skofic started the game and played the full 80 minutes. Max Skofic entered after 25 minutes and scored 3 tries, while Jack Skofic entered after 77 minutes. All five brothers finished the game on the winning side as Slovenia defeated Bulgaria 43-17.
9. Most international appearances in rugby union as captain – 110
Richie McCaw played 110 matches for New Zealand as captain between 2004 and 2015. He became the first player ever to captain a national side to two IRB Rugby World Cup victories, in 2011 and 2015. As of August 2017, McCaw also held the record for overall test appearances, with 148
10. Fastest time to score a try in a rugby union match – 7.24 seconds
The fastest recorded try in a rugby union match was scored after 7.24 seconds by Tyson Lewis (UK) for Doncaster Knights Rugby Union Football Club versus Old Albanians at Wollam Playing Fields, St Albans, UK back in November last year.
The record-breaking moment took place during a NCA Rugby National 1 League game in England, with winger Lewis scoring direct from kick off after racing onto the ball after it had bounced over the head of an Old Albanians player.
