From Thompson’s Almanac
The dashed badges are World Cup caps from Thompson’s Almanac: one number per tournament, with no games listed. They are counted in Caps, on top of the FIT games below. FIT has no record of those tournaments.
Almanac career tries (to 2014): 16. Source: Thompson’s Almanac, which gives career totals that cannot be split by year. So only the other 16 are added to Tries above.
FIT has lineups for only some matches at World Cup 2015, so games and tries from that event are partial.
