Australia winger Drew Mitchell scored four tries for New South Wales to lead the Waratahs to a 73-12 win over the winless Lions Friday in Super 14 rugby. It was the first time the Waratahs had scored 11 tries in one Super rugby match, and Mitchell became the first New South Wales player to score four in a single match. The Waratahs, who led 33-5 with a bonus point at halftime, improved to 3-2 while the South African side lost its fifth in a row. Phil Waugh played his record 119th match for the Waratahs, 41 of them as captain. He broke the previous team mark of 118 by former captain Chris Whitaker. Berrick Barnes converted nine of the Waratahs tries while Tonderai Chavhanga and Janse van Rensburg scored the Lions five-pointers. The Lions are among only three teams this season without a win. The South Africa-based Sharks will try to win their first in five when they play the ACT Brumbies Saturday, while the Western Force, the only team without a competition point, plays the Queensland Reds Sunday. Canterbury beats Waikato In New Zealand, Dan Carter became the second-highest points scorer in Super rugby, kicking 16 points as the Canterbury Crusaders beat the Waikato Chiefs 26-19 Friday. With the fifth of his six successful kicks at goal, Carter surpassed former Crusaders flyhalf Andrew Mehrtens' mark of 990 points. By the end of the game, Carter had taken his tally in 74 Super matches to 996 points, closing on Australian Stirling Mortlock's record of 1,005.
