Eager to emulate the successes of global rugby icons like Antoine Dupont and Michael Hooper, Radwan is diving headfirst into the fast-paced Sevens scene ahead of the grand Olympic stage.
Speaking last December, Radwan told Nik Simon in the Mail that: “It [SVNS rugby] would improve my defence, marking players with fast feet in big spaces. I’d have to earn a spot and play a couple of tournaments before.
"We’re not through to the next round of the Prem Cup, so there will be a couple of free weekends. We’ll have to see.
"It’s right up there with the biggest sporting events in the world, so it would be an honour to be part of something like that.”

Fastest Ever England players:

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.
