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 footballers to determine the quickest in the game.
The two players who just miss out are Stuart Hogg and Jacob Stockdale, 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: ANTHONY WATSON – England – 11.2 SECONDS (100m)
