England rugby's fastest ever player has been revealed.
Until recently, it was always thought to be Jason Robinson, but the World Cup winner has admitted a current star is probably quicker.
Robinson wrote in his column for the Daily Express: "Radwan has been compared in some quarters to me and he has got some great footwork. The one difference is he is probably quicker!
"When you throw in Jonny May as well this must be one of the speediest back three units in the world. Those boys can fly."
But who is England rugby's fastest ever player?


Fastest Ever England players (100m time):

#5. CHRISTIAN WADE - 10.8 SECONDS

The former England flier, who was called up Warren Gatland for the Lions tour to Australia in 2013, is trying his hand at American Football as a running back with the Buffalo Bills.

#4. OLLIE THORLEY - 10.7 SECONDS

The winger has pace, power and an eye for the try line. His impressive club performances saw him called up to the wider Six Nations squads for the 2019 and 2020 championships.

#3. JONNY MAY - 10.69 SECONDS

The speedster clocked 10.69 for the 100 metres. May has gradually improved his finishing prowess and is now arguably the first name on the team-sheet for head coach Eddie Jones.


#2. JASON ROBINSON - 10.67 SECONDS

Known as Billy Whizz, this former rugby league star proved a hugely successful convert to Union. A lethal runner from full-back or wing, he was a nightmare to mark in one-on-one situations. Had a knack of scoring memorable tries on the big stage.

#1. ADAM RADWAN - 10.6 SECONDS

Is there a faster player for England right now?
