6. SEABELO SENATLA – SOUTH AFRICA – 10.6 SECONDS (100M)
Seabelo Senatla’s acceleration has to be one of the most explosive in world rugby at the moment. The 24-year-old Commonwealth gold medal winner is able to hit full speed from a standing start in a blink, and if his all-out pace wasn’t troublesome enough for defenders, the Stormers and Blitzbokke star has some dazzling footwork that can bamboozle the best tacklers in the game.
5. PERRY BAKER – USA – 10.58 SECONDS (100M)
According to reports, the USA’s new speedy find is said to clock in at 10.58 seconds on the 100m dash, slotting him into the top 6 rugby speedsters in recent times. Since debuting in the Gold Coast leg of the Sevens World Series back in 2014, Baker’s languidly-smooth, yet blisteringly-quick, pace has allowed him to cross the whitewash 133 times in the World Series, in an attack that goes someway to proving that speed is an ultimate leveller when it comes to scoring tries.
