I'LL put my money on Rupeni in a game situation...change of direction without losing pace...in his prime no one could touch him...able to change a game all by himself
Out of that list, rupeni by a country mile, but only when he's fit. If cullen and lomu were on that list though.... Edit, oh cullen is in that list. I'm for cullen then😊
For outright speed, I think Rupeni wins it. The most elusive ball runner has to go to Cullen. But I played jnr rugby & went school with Joe Rokocoko so he's my favorite of all time. Such a humble person & anyone that knows him personally, could not think of a bad word to say about him!
I played at amateur level and a chap named Ray Young joined us for half a season before me moved to Scotland. He tore a hamstring when about to score his sixth try in the first match I played with him. In the bar I said, "You've clearly done some sprinting in your time." "Yes, I won the British Universities 100M, 200M and 400M three years running." Rupeni for me, in this video.
Rupeni Caucaunibuca in his prime wasn’t even his prime is the scary thing. Had the man bother to train & sharpen his God given talent. Same as Jonah Lomu playing his whole career with kidney problems. Rupeni for me.
With the exception of Rupeni and Habana and maybe Wade, this is a list of normal fast guys- not the fastest ever. All the actual fastest guys ever are not in here - Tonderai Chavangha, prime Marika Vunibaka, Joeli Latuimalagi, Zee Ngwenya, Ricky Nalatu, Nigel Walker, Sebastien Carret et al
Thanks for mentioning Carrat, who might actually be the fastest of them all with an official time of 10.13 indoors (if memory serves me right) on the 100m. Well he was a sprinter before he was a rugby player, so that helps.
For Fijian wingers Sireli Bobo is the fastest ever and also if we are talking fastest ever we should also mention Brenton Pulse of SA...that MF was fast as hell
@@attilathehunny486 the quickest in the early pro era are probably Vunibaka, Chavhanga, Rupenni, Ngwenya, Paulse, Shane Williams (up to 40m), Rokocoko, Howlett, Mils Mul, Anesi, Cedric Heymans, Habana. that's off the top of my head. The guy that played for Wasps and England was also supposed to have a crazy top end speed.
Cullen. Maybe not the out and out fastest but something about him.. just seemed to make an extra few inches every step from somewhere. Such a gifted runner.
I saw him outpace Breyton Paulse in stopping a run away try in NZ, ABs v RSA... 2001 ish. He was well behind Breyton and caught him, came from no where. Was amazing to see, as I thought at the time... no one was faster than Breyton Paulse, apparently Cullen was 🔥🔥🔥
Sosene Anesi is still the quickest in Nz Rugby over 40m. As quick as Doug Howlett was (Nz age group 100m champ.) he said on TAB Sports Cafe that he couldn't hold a candle to Rupeni & that Sosene was deceptively quicker than him. As a side note, Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi ran 100m @ 10.7 while still at high school. He also scored a 100m try against the Australian under-17 League School Boys.
@@thenorseprodigy7466 That simply isn’t true. Soccer players are slower, weaker and in some instances literally half the size. In ANY sporting competition - other than soccer itself - soccer players would lose.
Sébastien Carrat might have been faster than all of them, hard to tell without official times... but he ran 100m in 10.13, so I'd say his chances are good! Cool vid!
Nice list, but there are many more speedsters like: Kurt-Lee Arendse, Will Jordan, Tonderai Chavanga, Jongi Nokwe, Zee Ngwenya, Doug Howlett, Jason Robinson, Shane Williams Just to name a few. There are still a lot more to add. :) Well done for making this video. I like it.
Are we counting 7s? If so there's Carlin Isles, Perry Baker, Dan Norton, Senatla (I forget his first name) amongst others as well. I believe Carlin Isles has clocked in at 10.13s for 100m at some point in his career. I believe there is a Jamaican sprinter called Warren Weir who took either Olympic or World Championship Bronze (can't remember which) in the 200m in a year when Jamaica took a clean sweep of medals in the event. He made the switch to rugby after falling into obscurity as a sprinter because season after season he was getting consistently slower. He was in his early 20s when he won that medal, I believe he was 30 when he made the switch to rugby so he was well past his best when he first laced up his boots professionally but he might well have the best 100m PB out of any rugby player ever, I don't have an exact time but it was below 10s.
@nathanmitchell9695 i think only 15s apply in this list. It would be a never ending list i we include 7s aswell. But my all time top 3 in 15s would be. Tonderai Chavanga, Rupeni Caucaunibuca, Bryan Habana
Rupeni Caucau was fast...he had bulk (looked heavy), but speed was there. Speed + weight (momentum) he is same as Lomu. But add in side step, he is the best in that category. It is funny that x-factors do not last.....something always crop up.. Rupeni is a classic story. I always wanted him to play consistently for Fiji, he never did.Always a black sheep...:😗
@@brentmeistergeneral6074 he slipped slightly as he tried to change direction, great speed by the yank, but everybody gets burned or skinned at some point in their careers.
In the 90s and early 2000.Fijians were and still the best finishers in the game and were among the quickest.. Marika Vunibaka Filimoni Delasau Rupeni Caucaunibuca Sireli Bobo Joe Rokocoko Fero Lasagavibau to name a few.. Only wished to see Caucau and Habana square off... But unfortunately when Caucau left for France, Habana debuted in Super Rugby.. Vunibaka was one of the quickest wingers of all time.. It was said the longer the yard the quicker he became.. He took names as in ran around the likes of .. Cullen Wilson Paulse France winger..white hair .. Dominici Name a few..
Habana wasn't the fastest in the SA domestic set up. In 2006, he was just behind Danwell Demus and Trompie Nontshinga at the Bulls in sprint tests. Was behind Alshaun Bock,Nokwe, Chavhanga, Rylands, Aplon and Mentz in the domestic setup. Habana was the best though
Was waiting for Cullen the whole vid and then he arrived..lol He was lightning fast. Bauden Barret could have made the vid as well? Out of my playing days some guys are just faster in rugby boots than on the track. Cullen might have been one?
Christian Wade🔥 Take a look at his Performances and Tributes for Wasps, Buffalo Bills on the NFL and now Racing 92 in both 7s and 15s🔥. Outstanding Stats🔥
Nope! I've watched Rupeni's video over and over again and here's the big difference,, Rupeni at 85% to 90% speed cruising his rivals still couldn't keep up. Other speedster their rivals will either slipped tackle or tackled at the score line. Vunibaka was one of the fastest player in sevens and super rugby,,,,then I saw Rupeni burned him outside on Crusaders vs Blues match over and over again,,,couldn't stand a chance. Even Doug Howlett.
With Cullen it was the hands the step and the lighting quick acceleration. With Kolbe it's the step and acceleration. If Habana runs on to the ball his gone. If Riko starts to stride you are in the dust. Caleb Clark getting that amount of speed in just a couple of meters is a hazard to those who wants to tackle him. But man oh man if Will Jordan takes off it's like watching a racing stallion gunning for the finish line.
Caucau was an absolute freak - mad pace, frightening power and great elusiveness. If he could have been arsed in the slightest he would have been the best attacking player in history...
In all my years playing rugby I've never played with/against me (maybe my younger brother) yet these dudes are next level. A man doing flat out is an absolute thing of beauty. I say "man" cos the fastest women are the speed of an average guy, plus they run like girls 😆
As far as the fastest..I'd say isles, ngwenya and chavanga were/are quicker than all these. But the best, the one in his prime who you'd want to give the ball to if you needed a score was surely Rupeni
Habana said post-match. "I said in 2007, I don't think I can ever be compared to Jonah. The way he changed the game, you know he was a class act. He did it in two tournaments; it's taken me three. Also don’t forget Jonah’s health was deteriorating even while he played for All Blacks. I’m not knocking Habana at all as he is exceptional. My comment is directed at “you” for even daring to compare a fit player against a very ill player who lost his battle too soon and passed away.
I believe that there are a lot of guys that should be on that list but maybe look at doing a list regarding speed in their respective numbers starting from Number 1 loose head prop through to 15 fullback.
Rocket Rod Davies was not as good a player but definitely faster than most of the guys on this list. Also I think it’s well known that Ngwenya was THE fastest player in the world, also missing Tonderai Chavhanga (ran 10.27 over 100m).
No Beauden Barrett? Doug Howlett was an actual sprinter and skinned Jason Robinson. I can't believe you've excluded him, Carlin Isles and Perry Baker - all sprinters. Another would be Takudzwa Ngwenya, the American winger that skinned Habana in 2007 RWC's try of the tournament.
For me Caucau was the fastest out of any player I've seen. It was elegant speed because it didn't look like he was trying and his running technique is textbook.
I’m honestly not going to troll but I’m of the impression there was a lack of adequate research for this vid. The exclusion of players like Howlett, Beauden Barret, Jason Robinson, Shane Williams, Dominici, Teddy Thomas, Takudzwa Ngwenya, Chavanga and Johnny May makes this list laughable.
John Lewis :You think again ,read correctly 100yards Not a 100metres ! .yesteryear there was athletics races over 100yards . It’s a shorter distance than 100 metres .
Bryan Habana. He was not just fast, he was a brilliant rugby player. He had such good instinct
In 2005 his pace was unreal.

Rupeni all day, even when he put on all that weight playing in the european league he was still fast
Rupeni Caucau is probably the best & fastest winger of all time . Hands Down🙌
Rupeni for me, closely followed by Habana. Both lightning quick 🔥🔥🔥
Caucau had an amazing ability to change direction and not lose any speed. You just don't see that in other rugby players
Its between Rupeni and Cullen, efficient running style, these 2 look like they were gracefully galloping.
Awesome video bro, I'd pick Rupeni to be fastest, he was an absolute freak, when he dismantled the Crusaders and Warratahs, Amazing!

his speed was deceptive, he would have been a brilliant track and field 200m runner maybe 400m, his style of running suited it perfectly imho.
he wasnt called the "Paekakiriki Express" for nothing - christian was pure poetry in motion
I never seen anyone to be like Rupeni Caucau.

I miss the days he played on the Wing!
Rupeni looks like hes floating across the ground, very efficient, smooth running style
Marika Vunibaka in his prime would blitz em all
Vidiri, Vunibaka, Rupini all have something in common
This winger should dominate both southern hemisphere and northern hemisphere's Rugby, so I'll put my money on" Rupeni Caucau".
