Fastest Player

[Dmx#1]

Cullen once had the record for the AB's agility test, not sure if that still stands.

note: doesn't daisuke ohata have the record for the most test tries in rugby history now? [/b]

He sure does, its a shame he got injured before the RWC and was forced to retire. He probabbly would have got a few more tries.

good stuff. That clip of Anesi, doesn't appear that he hits top speed to get around his man as he slows down to pass, as well as the Joe Rocks clips, seems like hes just coasting to the line, still pretty quick

How about the fastest Forward player in the World???

I reckon Pierre Spies is the fastest forward in world rugby.

Definetely, wasnt his father an olympic sprinter? im pretty sure he can run sub 11 seconds.

Varndell!!
It's the lightest off all those..

 

[Dozzy_X]

tom croft is pretty fast for a forward, but spies should win that contest hands down. gone are the days of fat forwards, damn it

 

[Bullitt]

Well, there's always Van Der Linde, Thompson & Dunning! :lol:

Tom Croft is supposed to be the 2nd fastest behind Varndell at Leicester, and that's not bad going for a 6' 5" 16st fatboy.

I said this a few pages ago on this thread and i'm gonna say it again.

CJ van der Linde can motor for a prop. One of the fastest international props for sure

Without reading all the posts here the story that floats around the UK press is that the only time Varndell has done 100m recently he posted 10.4 on grass in socks.

David Wallace and Stephen Ferris are quick, I remember hearing Ferris was the fastest player over 20 metres in the Ulster squad. Cian Healy is really quick for a prop as well.

 

[Charles]

Olivier Magne was pretty quick for a forward (cf 99 RWC SF).

 

[spider23]

Victor Vito. Wellington Flanker. Missed out on Hurricanes selection because of injury but plays as a winger in the sevens team. Running 40m times as good as or better than s14 wingers.
