I was reading today that Sevu Reece's try against the Reds now means he has 100 tries in first class rugby. He is one of 5 current NZ players who have achieved that feat. That got me thinking of who were the other four. I've worked out two of them (see below) but some of the other likely candidates are short of 100 tries. Maybe I am forgetting about an obvious player, or there are some non-ABs with a lot of NPC tries.

Spoiler

Julian Savea
Rieko Ioane

Does anyone know who the other two players are?

@Bovidae

TJ?

@Bovidae

Will Jordan 22 NPC, 38 SR, 42 Rep sides

Snap! Is that the data?

Turns out TJ is short then.

[Bovidae]

No.
TJP (86)
Beauden Barrett (93)

@Duluth First class won't include U20s etc.

@Bovidae

Found this in the 2021 NZRU Competition and Regulations handbook

@Duluth OK, I had assumed first class meant senior rugby, so wasn't including Jordan for that reason. Who is the other then?

[Duluth]

@Bovidae

Yeah I was surprised too.. all the players are adults though. I guess that was their thinking

[Bovidae]

Zac Guildford is actually on 99 FC tries.

BB still falls short with his U20 tries.

@Bovidae

Current NZ player? Does that mean playing SR right now or just still playing?

Nonu is still playing

[Bovidae]

It was in an Aaron Goile article about SR stats but is paywalled online. He didn't go into detail but I would think current means still active regardless of which country. Nonu would be the last player then.

Is James Lowe the mystery man?

[mikedogz]

Did Waisake Naholo score any tries last year?

Nonu, it seems.

Not sure if Lowe counts anyway, he's false Irish now.
