Kurt-Lee Arendse made history on Saturday, July 8, 2023, when he tied Bryan Habana's record for the fewest matches to score 10 tries in international rugby union. Arendse scored his 10th try in his 8th match, which came against Australia in the 2023 Rugby Championship.

Habana set the record in 2007, when he scored his 10th try in his 8th match.

The 22-year-old Arendse is considered to be one of the most exciting young players in the world, and he has been tipped to have a long and successful career.

Arendse's try-scoring record is all the more impressive considering that he has played in a number of different positions during his career. He started his career as a fullback, but he has also played on the wing and at center. Arendse is a natural finisher, with incredible pace and acceleration. He is also a very intelligent player, who has a great understanding of the game.

Arendse's overall record for the Bulls is also very impressive. He has scored 30 tries in 35 matches, which is an excellent strike rate. He is also a key member of the Bulls' defensive set-up.

Habana's Legacy

Bryan Habana is one of the greatest rugby players of all time, and his record for the Springboks is simply incredible. He played 124 Tests for South Africa, scoring 67 tries, which is second only to South African legend Joost van der Westhuizen on the all-time listthe current South African record. Habana also holds the record for the most tries scored at a Rugby World Cup, with 15, which he shares with Jonah Lomu.
