Adam Radwan and Rieko Ioane are about to showcase their incredible speed during the 2021 Autumn Nations Series – but who are the fastest rugby players?
Below, we rank the top four by their MPS (metres per second). This measurement is how things tend to be recorded these days rather than, say, a classic timed 100m sprint.
Players wear GPS tracking devices during training sessions and matches, which can record their maximum velocity when in motion.
Check out the full ranking below, taken from Wales Online.
Fastest Rugby Players:
#4. Louis Rees-Zammit (Wales) – 10.5 m/s
The Welsh wing-wizard clocked 10.5 metres per second (23.48mph) in a game for Gloucester against Saracens in the season before last.
