Rugby World Cup points 2019: The top try scorers from this year's RWCBy Evening Standard

While winning the Webb Ellis trophy is the ultimate goal for all 20 teams competing at the Rugby World Cup, some of the planet's top finishers will also be looking to outdo each other by finishing first in the list of try scorers.

Julian Savea equalled Jonah Lomu and Bryan Habana's record of eight scores in a single tournament as New Zealand claimed a second successive title in England four years ago and of the current All Black crop Rieko Ioane and Sevu Reece look set to compete for the prestigious prize.

England's prolific Jonny May and Ireland wing Jacob Stockdale will also fancy their chances, while the likes of South Africa's Cheslin Kolbe and George Bridge also feature prominently in the betting.

As for overall points scorers, the fly-halves tend to dominate that category, with Argentina's Nicolas Sanchez narrowly edging out Springbok Handre Pollard in 2015.

Pollard should feature near the top of the list again this year, though he will face stiff competition from a host of talented 10s including Owen Farrell, Beauden Barrett and Jonathan Sexton.
