WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Australia and New South Wales fullback Israel Folau became the most prolific try-scorer in Super Rugby history on Saturday when he bagged his 60th career five-pointer against the Auckland Blues.

Folau tied the record of former All Blacks and Blues winger Doug Howlett in a victory over defending champions the Canterbury Crusaders two weeks ago and bettered the mark after 24 minutes of Saturday's match at Eden Park.
