Fastest man in rugby in his day, running legit timed 10.3s when that might've got you into an Olympic 100m final, and definitely gets a starting spot in the "fastest guys in the history of rugby race-off"
Thanks for upload. I remember following his athletics and rugby career back in the day. Really enjoyed seeing him in full flow again, great defensively too.
Very very underrated and a very brave player. Why did they ever play him on the left wing when he was obviously so much happier carrying the ball.under his right arm and stepping off his right.
Apparently, the theory is you have your quickest winger on the left as the ball tends to go through the backs hands quicker (as most are right handed) so he the winger has more time to use his speed.

@@TPRM1 thanks for pointing that out. The match is currently on TH-cam, watch the try here: th-cam.com/video/r8Da_s99f8Y/w-d-xo.html I vaguely recall watching it live on S4C, but I was quite young at the time.
A lovely memory of a fantastic sportsperson in full flow!
He was a fantastic player and scored some of the best tries ever.
Ridiculous pace, good power and underrated vision.
Great memories from a classy player.
Fantastic, and great music from the one and only Catatonia...Thank you Galeroth for putting this together...

I liked his spirit and his feints. Cracking player.

He was absolutely incredible!!! These are the best try’s I’ve ever seen! The pace is absurd!
Fantastic player. Was a student at my secondary school.
Great player, a pity he didn't get more caps for Wales, faster than anyone else at the time

Ieaun Evans was our right wing at the time

Wowsa! What a player.
By 'eck, I had forgotten what a swerve he had.
Fabulous player, never got the credit he deserved
Quickest ever player for Cymru ?
because of his athletics background used to weight train with the forwards and i believe he was one of if not the strongest player in the team
Like Christian Cullen. Type 2 fast twitch. Explosive. Able to generate big contractions
Loved his side step. Just left players grasping.
I raced nigel once at an athletics meet in leckwith stadium needless to say he smoked me
Nice one
Once he got space he was away
Love this. Who are the opponents in the second clip?
Spain, I think it was in May 1994.
