List of international rugby union tries by David Campese

Last updated

David Campese is a former Australia rugby union fullback and winger. Campese is considered to be a once in a generation player, and since his retirement has held the most test tries for the Wallabies with sixty-four. Between 1982 and 1998. Campese held the most international tries scored by any player, being overtaken by Japanese winger Daisuke Ohata, the current record-holder. Originally Campese overtook Scottish winger Ian Smith, who, with twenty-four international tries, held the world record from the 1930s. [1] However, when Campese overtook Smith's record (1987), he was an active player, and grew the record out to a significant margin by his retirement (1996).

In August 2016 South African winger Bryan Habana scored his sixty-fifth try, overtaking Campese's record. Habana was just the second international player to overtake Campese.

Currently David Campese is the third highest international try-scorer in the world, and is twenty-four tries ahead of the second-most try-scoring Wallaby Chris Latham with forty.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Anzac XV</span> Combined rugby union team

Anzac XV, often stylised as ANZAC XV, and often cited as Australia–New Zealand XV, is a combined rugby union team, consisting of players eligible to represent either Australia or New Zealand. The name "Anzac" comes from Australia and New Zealand's involvement in World War I. The Australian War Memorial states that "the formation in which Australian and New Zealand soldiers in Egypt were grouped before the landing on Gallipoli in April 1915." The team was initially supposed to be a "Barbarian-style" side combining many Wallabies and All Blacks. However many New Zealand-picked players dropped from the squad before the match against the Lions in 1989.

Philip Vivers Smith was an Australian rugby union international who represented Australia in eight Test matches. He also played rugby league for South Sydney.
