Wallaby legend Mark Ella's efforts in 1984 have gone down in rugby folklore. The five-eighth scored a try in each of Australia's four Tests on a tour in which they clinched a famous grand slam.

If Kuridrani can cross the line for a five-pointer on Saturday at Twickenham against England, it would be his fifth in as many matches.

Even if he does, Kuridrani would still be one game behind the Australian record held by wingers John Ryan and David Campese.

Ryan featured in only six Tests for his country but still shares the record with Campese for the most consecutive matches having scored a try.

He managed a hat-trick in his debut against Japan in 1975, before scoring a least one in his next five outings, while Campese achieved the same feat during a hot streak from 1985 to 1986.

The world record of eight consecutive matches is held by John Kirwan (New Zealand), Christian Cullen (New Zealand), Daisuke Ohata (Japan) and Nemani Nadolo (Fiji).

What makes Kuridrani's feats even more remarkable is the fact he would not have started if Samu Kerevi came on the tour.

Kerevi has been one of Australia's standouts this year but an injury just before the team departed for Europe created an opportunity for Kuridrani.

Before his try in the Wales game at Cardiff, Kuridrani was on an eight-match drought – he did, however, come off the bench in five of those fixtures – going back to Brisbane in June.

Up until the spring tour, Kuridrani had managed four tries in his last 18 appearances but has taken a real liking to the northern hemisphere.

Wallabies attack coach Larkham, who is also Kuridrani's mentor at the ACT Brumbies, praised his impressive run.

"We've had a big focus on scoring tries and we've shown a few clips of Tevita on this tour," Larkham said. "The one against France was certainly a highlight [with his] desperation to score that try. It was pleasing to see him get another one on the weekend. It's quite a unique feat. I assume Mark Ella was the last guy to do it but they won all their games over here."

Larkham said he didn't think Kuridrani had fallen off the radar during earlier Tests this year but was rather not being afforded the opportunities to show what he could do.

"It [his talent] has been there the whole time," Larkham said. "He really hasn't had the opportunities so that happens with players in the backline particularly the outside backs, sometimes the ball doesn't come their way.

"With Samu Kerevi coming into the team and doing such a good job, Tevita missed his chance to get his hands on the ball and to make some tackles but since he's been back in the team he's played the rugby I've always seen him play."
