[QUOTE="profitius, post: 412798, member: 41524"] Acceleration and the ability to step are much more important for centers. I remember reading about 5 or 6 years ago that BOD was the fasters players in the Ireland squad over 10m but isn't very fastover 100m. David Wallace was second fastest over 10m and second fastest over 100m (Denis Hickie was fastest over 100m). Both BOD and Wallace score loads of tries and make loads of breaks. So I think 10m speed is more important especially against good defenses. For wings the 100m or 60m time would be more important. Of course there are other important things too like the ability to change direction quickly and step etc. Shane Williams had all that except for size but he has a great try scoring record. [/QUOTE]
