The fastest try scored in Rugby World Cup matches is 18 seconds after the kick-off by Elton Flatley playing for Australia against Romania on 18 October 2003 at the Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

The fastest Guiness Premiership try was scored by Lee Blackett of Leeds after 8.2 seconds in the 2008 championship.

In 2010 the fastest try was scored by Joe Crouch in 6 Seconds. In Barossa Rams vs Southern Suburbs in the South Australian league.

A video documenting some of the quickest tries ever is now available, including tries by Keegan Daniels, Lionel Mapoe, Tom Voyce, and Lee Blackett.

Amongst 1st tier teams, the record for points scored in a Rugby International goes to New Zealand for their 145 points scored against Japan at the 1995 world cup (final score 145-17) and for an individual the record goes to Simon Culhane who scored 45 points in that match (1 try, 20 conversions). But the record in all test matches goes to Hong Kong who beat Singapore 164-13 in a 1994 World Cup qualifying match. In that match fullback Ashley Billington scored 10 tries for an individual total of 50 points.

Rochdale Hornets Danny Samuel managed to score a try timed at 7.9 seconds from kick off during Hornets match against Swinton Lions on the 8th of May 2010 at Sedgely Park.

You've got to feel sorry Swintons defence coping with three bad bounces.

Newtown Jets vs. Wentworthville Magpies, Henson Park, Sydney, May 2009 is the one currently doing the rounds of the news programmes as the 'world's fastest try'. Basically, Newtown kicked off, a W'ville player collected straight off the kick & just ran straight through the Bluebags defence & put it down between the posts. They said 7 seconds, on the day but now we're told it was 8.
