    I'll never forget that Zee Ngwenya try. I remember watching it thinking WOW! I can't believe we got to see a one on one with these two. Ngwenya still moving away from Habana, plus that handoff! Oof! Brilliant just what the WC is all about, a iconic try that had everything

    Shane Williams has to be one of the best finishers I've ever seen, and for a speed and power compilation, I might have expected to see Cullen, who was just absolutely silky. But for me the surprise omission is Jason Robinson - that was a player who could move like almost nobody else.

  • @Pepgang
    @Pepgang 2 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    Should have add Lwazi Mvovo, one of the greatest wingers ever. He gets extremely fast after 30 - 100m.
    Not so fast off the mark though.
    After 50m is where he is probably the fastest player I've ever seen.

    For an English schoolboy winger in the '80s there was only one player to look up to: Rory Underwood. Unfortunately we persisted with Rob Andrew at 10, so the ball didn't reach Guscott and Underwood nearly often enough. I get that this is all RWC stuff, but I could watch Underwood going past Kirwan and Timu for the 1993 Lions on permanent repeat.

    Ngwenya and Caucau are the two main videos I think show brutal outright speed against other speedsters. I still remember the big raps on Rougerie and he trying to underestimate Caucau and that's what he got for his brash comment.
