Rugby Championship Top Try Scorer
The top try scorer market is the Championship's headline player bet — one outright on who crosses for the most tries across all six rounds. Here is how to play it.
How the market works
You back a player to finish the Championship as its leading try scorer, at odds set before the first round. It runs the full six-round season, so it is a long hold across every team's three home and three away Tests. Wings and outside backs dominate the market, though a powerful forward who finishes off driving mauls — a hooker or loose forward — can feature in this competition. The biggest edge is a prolific finisher from one of the title-chasing sides, who plays the most competitive minutes against the best opposition.
Finding value
With only six rounds the margins are small — a single multi-try Test can decide the market — so a finisher in form and on goal-line duty can pip a bigger name. Pair the market with the The Rugby Championship outright odds to see which teams are expected to dominate, and the The Rugby Championship predictions page for form. See the Rugby Championship guide for all the markets.
