We've 107
Who's scored everything ? do we have anybody in double figures yet?

Nobody in double figures as far as I'm aware - AB+ has 9, Carbery has 8, Luke McGrath has 8, Rory O'Loughlin has 8, Conan has 7, Isa has 6, JGP and Ringrose have 5 each.
As an addendum to Hugonaut's post, we've had 32 different players score tries for us this season, plus perennial fan favourite P Try has chipped in with two.

This is great, thanks!
Can I raise a practical question at this point? Are we gonna do "Stonehenge" tomorrow?

Nucifora shopped him to Munster
Don't know - pen tries are not to be sneezed at.
They're indicative of an ability to really pile the pressure on in the kill zone.
Not something we've been particularly good at this season.
2/3 in the pen try box would be better.
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall who's the greatest player of them all? It is Drico your majesty.

OS, we are piling on the pressure in the killzone. .. by scoring tries. Loads and loads of tries.

I certainly have no nostalgia for 2014 when the only name on our scoresheet was frequently P. Try.
This is a barnstorming season. I reckon back threes must be dreading facing us.

Our maul though has been a bit patchy though
Yeah it's that atavistic, feral power surge that either yields a try directly or results in a PT that we need to see a bit more of.
It's the sort of thing you need in the armoury when the French or English forwards get uppity and try their bully boy tactics.
It's old school stuff for sure but it's still needed from time to time especially when the conditions might not suit fancy dan rugby.

Yeah but that's the fancy dan stuff, I like to see a few PTs.
It reassures me that we're not slipping back into the soft boy days.
We probably aren't "forcing" as many opposition players to be carded as back then either because we are converting the pressure.
Also Refs now call use it a lot earlier.
