Rugby World Cup points 2019: The top try scorers from this year's RWC

1/19
George Flood2 November 2019

Wales may have fallen at the penultimate hurdle at the 2019 Rugby World Cup, but eye-catching wing Josh Adams can take at least some pleasure from finishing as the tournament's top try scorer.

The Cardiff Blues star notched seven in total during Warren Gatland's final competition at the helm - one more than Makazole Mapimpi, whose late effort in the final helped seal victory for South Africa over England.

Mapimpi's Springbok team-mate Handre Pollard's 22 points in the showpiece in Yokohama helped him to top that category, while England skipper Owen Farrell eventually finished second after a penalty duel.
