Australia’s Drew Mitchell entered the race for the Rugby World Cup try-scoring record with a brace against Scotland in their 35 / 34 quarterfinal victory at Twickenham on Sunday.
Mitchell dotted down twice to bring his tally in World Cups to 14 – a single try shy of current joint leaders, New Zealand great Jonah Lomu and Springbok Bryan Habana.
Mitchell will have a chance to increase his tally in the semifinals against Argentina (Sunday 25 October at 17:00 SA Time), while Habana will get his opportunity a day earlier against the All Blacks, also at Twickenham (17:00 SA Time).
