Of the 17 games in the Guinness PRO12 so far there have been a total of 88 tries scored.

That works out at an average of 5.18 per match – the best average the league has ever had after just three rounds and the attacking talents of Wales, Ireland and Scotland have been on full display.

Clear out on top are the Ospreys – they downed Treviso this weekend in style to leave them with a maximum of 15 points from 15 so far this season.

Full-back Dan Evans might still be awaiting his first Wales call-up – the likes of Leigh Halfpenny and Liam Williams are blocking his path to the international No.15 jersey.

But in league play he has been little short of spectacular so far this campaign – against Treviso this weekend he ran for 151m with ball in hand.
