Who’d win a 100m race between the fastest rugby players on the planet


4. JONNY MAY – England – 10.71 SECONDS (100M)

The speedster clocked 10.71 for the 100 metres. With a strong argument to be England’s quickest wide man ever, May is gradually improving his finishing prowess and is now arguably the first name on the teamsheet for head coach Eddie Jones.


3. CHESLIN KOLBE – South Africa –  10.7 SECONDS


2. OLLIE THORLEY – England – 10.6 SECONDS

 Lightning speed – he ran the 100m in 10.6 seconds aged 16 – and an eye for the try line. Thorley is also an eccentric character as highlighted in this recent interview by Sportsmail‘s Nik Simon.


1. SBU NKOSI – South Africa –  10.59 SECONDS

Comes with a deceptive frame, which makes him a stocky 97kg, despite being 2cm shy of being 1.8m tall. Couple that with the speed that saw him clock 10.59 seconds over 100m and the footwork that make him almost impossible to defend against at times.
