    Jason Robinson is a dual international rugby union & rugby league player who scored tries in six consecutive Test matches for Great Britain.... in Rugby League.

    However, the correct answer is Alex Purves of Scotland. His six consecutive tries in test matches were....

    02 Feb 1907 v Wales at Inverleith
    23 Feb 1907 v Ireland at Inverleith
    16 Mar 1907 v England at The Rectory Ground, Blackheath
    01 Feb 1908 v Wales at Swansea

    It was a record at the time and stood for 67 years before being matched by JP Ryan of Australia in 1975 and then beaten by John Kirwan of New Zealand in 1988

    The current record is eight and is held jointly by three players.....

    John Kirwan (NZ)

    20 Jun 1987 v France at Eden Park, Auckland (RWC)
    25 Jul 1987 v Australia at Concord Oval, Sydney
    28 May 1988 v Wales 52-3 at Lancaster Park, Christchurch
    11 Jun 1988 v Wales 54-9 at Eden Park, Auckland
    03 Jul 1988 v Australia at Concord Oval, Sydney
    16 Jul 1988 v Australia at Ballymore, Brisbane

    Ohata's record is unusual in that he did not play ALL of Japan's international matches as he was out with injury. Japan played twelve matches over the period where Ohata scored in his consecutive eight matches

    Cullen's record was accrued over one playing season in just over five months
