TJ Perenara has surpassed the great Christian Cullen as the Hurricanes’ top try scorer.

The 30-year-old halfback is in his 11th season at the Hurricanes.

Fullback Cullen, famous for his try-scoring exploits for the Hurricanes and All Blacks alike, spent eight seasons at the franchise.

Cullen’s record has stood since 2003, the year he left the Hurricanes to join Munster in Ireland.

Former Wallaby Israel Folau holds the Super Rugby try-scoring record with 60, with Blues wing Doug Howlett on 59 and Crusaders wing Caleb Ralph on 58.

Howlett is the top All Blacks try scorer with 49 in 62 Tests.
