Unfortunately I don't have accurate minutes played for matches that took place before the 2003/04 season so can't provide accurate tries per minutes for Hickie, Horgan, BOD or Darce.FLIP wrote: ↑October 10th, 2021, 5:48 pmI wonder what the metrics for tries per cap are. Or tries per minute played, but appreciate that the data may not be there for that.sunshiner1 wrote: ↑October 10th, 2021, 1:33 pmEven more impressive when you realise he didn't come through the academy but had a few seasons under his belt at Munster and Connacht first.by blockhead
I think Nugget scored his 43rd Try today for Leinster. Goes ahead of RobK into 6th place. Only Isa, DaveK, Hickie, Darcy and O'Driscoll ahead of him now.
For a Hooker, wow.
