[QUOTE="scuubasteve, post: 131235"] Here's a few quotes from some "research" I did on this topic... Chavangha's fastest time i can find was a 10.5s run. He has never recorded a legal 10.01 or even close to it. Nigel Walker (Ex Welsh wing and olympic hurdler) holds the fastest official time of 10.35s electric timing. Sosene Anesi was stated by Gordon Tietjens (NZ Seven guru) as the fastest hes ever coached. Thats pretty good considering hes had the likes of Cullen, Rokocoko, Muliaina, Roger Randle, Brad Fleming & co at his disposal. Anesi was timed at 4.53s for a standing start 40m sprint, which is unprecedented speed, as rocokoko could only manage 4.66s. As a junior he ran a 10.6s 100m in Samoa. Doug Howlett clocked 10.8 seconds while he was still at school, i.e. before he became a professional, training athlete, so not sure how much faster he has got, but he admits Joe Rokocoko is slightly faster, so they gotta be right up there... Over shorter distances guys like J.Robinson, Brent Russell and Shane Williams would also have to be considered. [/QUOTE]
