Speed is one of the most exciting yet contentious aspects of rugby. Fans loves to argue over ranking the fastest SIx Nations players, even though television pictures are often the only
There’s a reason why the 100m world record holder is known as the fastest man or woman alive, so it makes sense to use times clocked by rugby players to determine the quickest in the game.
The two players who just miss out are Stuart Hogg and Jordan Larmour, who’d finish fourth and fifth respectively.
Here are the top three fastest 100m times ran by the fastest Six Nations players.

FASTEST SIX NATIONS PLAYERS:

BRONZE MEDAL: OLLIE HASSELL-COLLINS (ENGLAND)  — 11.9 (100m)

Hassell-Collins represented England at U18s and U20s levels and competed in the 2019 Six Nations Under 20s Championship.
He also featured in the England Sevens team at the 2019 Paris Sevens.His rugby journey began at a young age, playing club rugby for Newbury RFC prior to joining the London Irish Academy at 16. He made his debut in the Championship against the Cornish Pirates, before playing in the top flight of English rugby when the Exiles were promoted a year later.

SILVER MEDAL: ANGE CAPUOZZO (ITALY)  — 11.5 (100m)

Capuozzo's exceptional X-factor and running skills set him apart from others. Every time he has possession of the ball, there's a sense of excitement as he could create a moment of magic at any moment.
With excellent vision, he effortlessly breaks through defensive lines and either goes solo or sets up a teammate.
Anything dangerous that originates from Italy in this year's Six Nations is sure to have Capuozzo's involvement.

GOLD MEDAL: LOUIS REES-ZAMMIT (WALES)  — 11.1 (100m)
