Which players have the most caps without ever scoring a try? Here are the top 5 of all-time.
5. JOE MARLER (England) - 71
Most recently leapfrogging Wales lock Bradley Davies into fifth spot, the loosehead prop has a chance to continue his pursuit of this unwanted record after being selected by Eddie Jones for the Autumn Nations Cup. Despite never scoring for England, the 29-year-old did actually cross the whitewash in one of his two appearances for British & Irish Lions in 2017.

Charteris made his debut for Wales in 2004 versus South Africa in 2004 having previously represented Wales at Under 19 and Under 21 levels. He's also not scored a try for his three previous club teams, USA Perpignan, Racing 92 and Bath.
3. LUIS PISSARRA (Portugal) - 75
The scrum-half was a stalwart in the team between 1996 and 2007, which included four appearances at the 2007 Rugby World Cup.Despite being a back he somehow never scored a try
2. SALVATORE PERUGINI (Italy) - 83 caps
Perugini made his international debut against Ireland in Italy's opening game of the 2000 Six Nations. Perugini made his name in Italy with Calvisano before representing his country at U21 and A level. He signed for French giants Toulouse before securing a place in the 2006 Six Nations' "Team of the Tournament". Appearing at two World Cups as well as being a constant in the Azzurri side wasn't enough however for him to ever cross the whitewash.

1. OWEN FRANKS (New Zealand) - 108 caps
A mobile, powerful tight-head prop, Owen Franks has become a key member of the All Blacks front-row over the past year. Franks made his international bow as a replacement against Italy in June 2009, capping his first year of Super 14 rugby with his first All Blacks jersey. Eight years, two Rugby World Cups, and 95 caps later he never registered a point for his country.
