    Habana to break Lomu and Campese's records this weekend?

    What record does Campese have? I know Habana has tied Lomu for most RWC tries. What's Mitchell on? 13?

    I don't know what Campese's record is, it's not try's, points or appearances anyway.

    Mitchell 'only' has 10 try's, Lomu has 15.

    edit: Ah, based on pickarooneys post we're talking about in general, I thought it was specific to the World Cup.

    Ok. I was looking at the stats on the official RWC website earlier this week for something else and was playing around with the various filters and he's listed as having 10, still listed as 10 when I just checked there now.

    Cheers. I knew Campo was second. Didn't realise Habana had joined him. I just read on an SA website that Habana had equal led Campo as world record holder for test tries on 62 and thought these guys are morons: Campo has 64 and Ohata has 69!

    Speaking of records, am I right that Savea can go out on his own as top try scorer at a single RWC if he scores tomorrow?

    Pocock and Folau named in the Aussie line-up. I'm sure neither are 100%, but still a big boost for them.

    is this the real line up or the GAA lineup ?

    Looking forward to these matches. Smart cash has to be on ABs v Aussies. But Argentina have certainly muscled their way into being 1 of the top 4 in the world. They can trouble the Aussies. England would do well to forget about Scmidt and look at the Argie coach.
