POINT-SCORING DATA UPDATING-Coming
Tier 2-3 NATIONS POINT SCORERS. Compiled
by Giles Etienne Updated to end of December 2022-Coming
Since Giles’ first point-scoring data charts were introduced in November
2020 he has worked on updating his records. These I will gradually revise as
time permits. His original introduction is below.
‘I started to list the players who have scored in the 3rd unions
opposing matches for more than 20 years now thanks to the emergence of
internet.
But I had begun to be interested in statistics in rugby for much longer,
actually as far back as I can remember. I must say that I do not know where it
comes from, compiling the statistics in sport is not really in the French
mentality, rather Anglo-Saxon. At the time (I was a teenager), I started making
sheets about the players of the XV of France; today, I was able to develop the
complete dictionary of all French internationals, with as complete data as
possible and a photo of each one of them.
Then, gradually, I became interested in foreign players (I mean
non-French!), first the All-Blacks, the British and other 1st unions,
then the 2nd unions, and finally the 3rd unions, as the number of countries
involved in test-matches increased.
Data below are from a systematic compilation of all the match sheets and
reports I have gathered since 2001 (but quite complete only from 2011), plus
various books, booklets, annuals and Unions web pages. I would like here to pay
tribute for the work done by the continental associations and World Rugby to
publish the match sheets; Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania; Americas (mostly
South America) are still far behind for that. And many thanks also to everyone
around the world who has the patience and kindness to respond to my requests.
These data are indicative (a lot of match sheets were incomplete or
aberrant, and there are quite often discrepancies between newspapers reports on
the same match), but fairly representative I think so. For the players of the
years 2000~2010, the tries and point scored
is probably by default, due to lack of data, except for some countries that at
some times have published (website, booklets) complete historical statistics
(such as Sweden, Malta, Latvia, Luxembourg, Hungary, etc. ...).’

COUNTRY DATA
This section hopes to cover each nation’s
international rugby stats year-by-year.
This is a work in progress as I gradually upload
the data for each nation. Click on the nation below and see where I’m up to.
If you can contribute to this data either by noticing errors or by adding to
what I don’t have then contact me at rugint@bigpond.net.au
A special thanks to Stuart Farmer whose data on scrum.com for the main nations
is, in most cases, my comparison.
