Guildford is quick but in an interview once even he admitted he was not as fast as maitland.
lots of definitions of speed, people always use 100m times as benchmarks but in rugby it's more important to be fast over 10-30m and not from a stationary start but a moving start and in most cases it's not about running a straight line.
I think if they all ran their best 100m and posted times there would be a lot of suprises in the results
one player who always surprised me was Kahui, the whole him being a centre makeshift winger and even he in interviews would say he's not as fast as most wingers around. But then on the rugby field I've seen him clearly out sprint Habanna in a foot race and run 55m in an almost straight line through the entire welsh defense in one of the more impressive individual tries I've seen over the last 5 years or so.
IMO the ultimate was Rokocoko in his prime, when he was younger he was pretty much the fastest and most deadly player and physically the ideal sprinter. But it seems the island guys Fijians in particular when they get a bit older they build muscle really easily and to maintain speed and keep their weight down they have to limit their training. Just a couple of years ago when he was still in the AB's he was still the fastest in the team even though he was a shadow of himself when he first burst onto the scene.
