[QUOTE="Zed, post: 540384, member: 38503"] Yup there aren't any top flight rugby players capable of doing sub 10.5s. To get low 10s high 9s requires years of specific training. Most quick guys like Habana are doing high 10s. And a lot of these quick times being bandied about are hand timed and hand timing is wildly inaccurate. Vardnell supposedly did a 10.8 on grass in his socks... As for Ngwenya, well he's fast, but he scored that try against Habana with beautiful footwork, he wrong footed him, it wasn't a case of him simply beating him for pace. Edit just read the post about Carlin Isles - when I said top flight I meant Premiership, Super 15, International rugby with a top 10 country etc There are a number of ex sprinters playing union & league but not top flight.
