[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 543760, member: 38640"] Roger Randle? He was a very, very quick winger in a steight line - wasn't the mst skillful though. Christian Cullen was extremely quick - saw a video the other day of him catching Marika Vunibaka from behind, who I rate as one of the fastest players I've seen. His real attribute was how he could change direction without losing much pace - he didn't so much side step as he did just change his mind mid way through a sprint. Rupeni Caucaunibuca certainly was quick back in 2002-2003, he has lost a lot of pace since gaining so much weight - still fast for his size mind you. That being said - it's always the fastest in terms of track speed that I think this thread is interested in. Impossible to judge how quick a guy is on a rugby pitch as it seems relative. Topsy Ojo for example always looks extremely slow to me because of his running style, it isn't until he passes everyone that you realize he's very quick. Habana has got a very good all around game. Very solid in defence (when he's not going for the intercept), decent kicking game, good at catching up and unders. There really isn't an area where I think he fails. [/QUOTE]
