Fastest Player Ever?

[Burgs]

I've cast my vote as "Winger with ball in hand in his prime" and for me that has to go to the troubled genius of Rupeni Caucau.
It's one thing to be quick on the track or chasing but Caucau was amazing dodging tackles at full speed when he was 100%. Sideways movement of Gits and forward speed of the best!

habana vs cheeter/cheetah.
you need to get to about 2:19 to see the race

if habana does run the 100 in about 11 seconds then thered be plenty of players faster than him. but i get the feeling hed be closer to 10 than 11

[force addict]

i dont know how old that video is though
so he could be much faster now

Did Martin "Chariots" Offia (sp) ever play Union?

The big man Lomu still holds all sorts of athletic records.

His 100m times were awesome.

6' 5" and 130 kegs running at you in sub 11 sec times, awesome!!!!!

he was pretty easy to stop though (if you were driving a tank or something...)

Just ask Mike Catt!

[welshrugbyfan]

10.89 seconds for the 100m.

It was the games loss when he had to stop playing.

Lomu is a legend thats for sure... Stapleton doesnt make the list purely as he hasn't cracked the wallabies nod.

I voted for Habana but after looking at the videos I am not so sure it was the correct vote

Z Vs Habana was the best moment for USA Rugby since 1924, and Z is a burner, but look at the steps against Samoa - note inside slant- 2 Steps inside then POW!- Some familiar patterns v S. Africa - dot dot.. Someone's been studying! Cheers to Z's coaches!!!!

[zimeric]

the thing about that move is that although its good in getting around a stationary defender its only really effective if you have gas to to burn.. and boy does he just!
