[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 368874, member: 20605"] I voted "other" because, obviously, my choice (Ngwenya of Biarritz) isn't there. This guy has got to be the fastest player in rugby boots that I have seen in a long, long time. I know this video has been posted before, but take a look at the time coding... [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBHjSnPfEyY"][media=youtube]KBHjSnPfEyY[/media][/URL] He gets the ball 10m from his own line at 0:03, and crosses the Ospreys goal-line at 0:14. That is 90m in 11 seconds. That equates to 100m in just over 12 seconds, admittedly with a flying start, but with a couple of disadvantages too.... 1. He's running on grass. 2. He's wearing rugby boots. 3. He has to swerve slightly to avoid tackles from two Ospreys defenders 4. He has to slow down to score the try. Now stick this guy in custom fitted running spikes, on a synthetic track with starting blocks and a few tips from Usain Bolt, and I reckon he could push 10.5 for the 100m [/QUOTE]
