Norton socred his 300th try in Dubai last weekend and says he is hoping to become the World’s top try scorer and help his side win majority of the tournaments this season.

“I didn’t think when I first started playing sevens that I’d ever be able to get this many tries in the first place. It’s nice, I had to pinch myself at times. I just trying to run as fast as I can and get as many tries I could. It’s not always a planned move.”
