Australia winger Josh Addo-Carr is leading the way for tries in the Rugby League World Cup so far, and could make history this weekend. 

The speedster has scored 12 tries so far in this tournament. If he scores against Samoa in the World Cup final on Saturday, he will overtake his Kangaroos team-mate Valentine Holmes for most tries scored in a World Cup campaign.

England wingers Dom Young and Tommy Makinson occupy the second and third spots in the try scoring leaderboard, having scored nine and seven tries respectively.

Nathan Cleary (Australia) and Stephen Crichton (Samoa) have kicked the most goals in this tournament. Cleary has kicked 29, with Crichton just behind him on 28.

In the women’s World Cup, there are four players who have scored six tries each – England duo Leah Burke and Tara Stanley and Australia pair Julia Robinson and Evania Pelite.

And in the wheelchair, Lionel Alazard of France leads the way for points with 86, having scored seven tries and 29 goals.
