With one round of the regular season to go, followed by the play-offs, the Premiership record of 21 tries held by Sam Simmonds is under threat from Saracens’ exhilarating wing Noah Caluori, who has 18 to date, and Northampton Saints’ Tommy Freeman on 16.
While we wait to see if Simmonds’ five-year-old mark is going to be beaten, here’s a list of my favourite try-scoring specialists in England’s top division, down the years.
Tommy Freeman (Northampton Saints)
Another of the Prem’s current crop of talent, the 25-year-old Freeman has played in the centres for England this season, but the 2025 British & Irish Lions used him purely as a wing, recognising his all-court gifts and attacker’s instinct for beating an opponent one on one. Freeman has racked up an impressive 53 tries in the Premiership since his first against Bath in February 2021, including 16 – with power to add – this season.
Louis Rees-Zammit (Gloucester and Bristol Bears)
