Three years after hanging his boots, World Rugby Sevens Series star Collins Injera remains one of the sport's greatest try-scorers. The Kenyan legend still sits second on the all-time try-scoring list, with 279 tries, behind England's Dan Norton, who finished his career with 358.
What makes Injera's legacy remarkable is his place among the game's greatest all-around scorers. The World Rugby Sevens Hall of Famer ranks third on the all-time points table, having accumulated 1,443 points during an illustrious 17-year career.
