Speed is one of the most exciting yet contentious aspects of rugby. Fans loves to argue over ranking the fastest SIx Nations players, even though television pictures are often the only
There’s a reason why the 100m world record holder is known as the fastest man or woman alive, so it makes sense to use times clocked by footballers to determine the quickest in the game.
The two players who just miss out are Scotland captain Stuart Hogg and Wales speedster Louis Rees-Zammit, who’d finish fourth and fifth respectively.
Here are the top three fastest 100m times ran by the fastest Autumn Nations Series players.

FASTEST AUTUMN NATIONS SEIRES PLAYERS:

BRONZE MEDAL. Jonny May (England) - 10.59 m/s

The Gloucester wingers best recorded time is 10.59 metres per second, which equates to 23.68 miles per hour, while playing for England against the Barbarians in 2018.

SILVER MEDAL: Rieko Ioane (New Zealand) - 10.69 m/s

Ioane was clocked at 10.69 metres per second (23.92 mph) when making a try-saving chase and tackle against Australia last month. That puts him ahead of Rees-Zammit and May.

GOLD MEDAL: Adam Radwan (England) - 10.85 m/s

Radwan is faster than them all, with that recorded top speed bettered only by Christian Wade who is now trying to forge a career in NFL. He has been clocked at an astonishing maximum speed of 11.2 metres per seconds.
