[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 545089, member: 48703"] Correct. In 2003, Joe Rokocoko's debut year of international rugby he scored 17 tries in first 12 matches. If you consider that he missed matches against Tonga and Canada at the RWC due to a minor injury where his replacement Caleb Ralph scored 4 tries, he may well have scored over 20 tries in a calendar year. Contrary to his first 12 matches, in Rokocoko's last 12 matches he only scored 2 tries. Rokocoko equalled the record of Daisuke Ohata of Japan, who scored 17 tries in 6 matches in 2002. This included 6 tries in 3 games against Korea, 10 in 2 games against Chinese Taipei, and 1 against Russia. Not great opposition, but it is worth remembering that although Ohata's try records are doubtless due to playing the Asian 5 Nations annually, but he also had a great try scoring rate against harder teams as well. Next question: Who this year broke the international record for most appearances as a substitute and who's record did he break? [/QUOTE]
