Western Force wing Cameron Shepherd tops the individual try-scoring standings after Week 12 with seven tries while Morne Steyn still heads up the individual point-scorers table with 130 points.
Shepherd's try during the Force's 29-32 loss against the Bulls last weekend, took him past the Blues' Isaia Toeava (six tries) while Steyn's four penalties and one conversion in the same match, increased his lead at the top of the standings.
The Blues have been the most potent attacking outfit this season, having racked up 44 tries but they've also been the worst defensively, having leaked 41 tries.
The Cheetahs not only prop up the overall standings but they also languish at the bottom of the team try-scoring stats having scored only 20 tries so far this season.

130 - Morne Steyn (Bulls)
110 - Rory Kockott (Sharks)
