Problem with that last challenge is that the ball placements for Caleb were different than for Ange. Caleb's were 5 metres or so in front of the bags which gave him time to get his balance then make the pass, where as Ange's were set up in line with the targets and he had no time to recover and pass. That needs to be fixed for any further challenges
@@nancyvenia5447 lol I couldn't care less who won or lost. Just stating that there is no point comparing if the playing field and conditions aren't even
This is fun competition between 2 amazing players. Congrats to Caleb. As for Ange and his build it's insane for him to play full back. Love how rugby union gives a chance for almost every builds.
The ball placement is different, it looks like CC's are placed well behind the target so he can pick up and then set for a pass. Cap's balls looked to be inline with the target, pick and pass in the same motion while trying to keep running pace is not easy. Been good to see the ball placement the same for both, but then again I'm not there so can't be sure they weren't.
@@d_uzooo3972 give it a try best way to know. Will try to explain but will probably struggle, but in essence Cas has to pass the ball behind him more than CC, the rotation required to do that at high pace is very hard on the body, and then on top of that he needs to be accurate. If you watch someone pass accurately behind them, you'll often see their opposite foot (to the direction of the pass) be locked in place and act as a anchor to produce the rotation. Which Cas doesn't have the luxury off, as he isn't stationery. Why you often see full speed passes go forward after leaving the hands. Again best to give it a try and know the difference yourself.
Would be interesting to give them a slalom to run. In and out of cones to test their speed and agility at the same time. I feel like that's a more accurate way that Rugby players need to run. On a side note. Caleb Clarke is a phenomenal talent. And a really nice guy. Everyone in New Zealand knows him as one of the most humble and kind players in the country.
Very nice challenge. Last one is not strictly just speed, but still great to see. Caleb is one scary guy running at that speed with his bulk! I wish all players attempting to stop him during a game Godspeed! I hope they have good medical insurance!
Yeah, I thought Caleb would be best at the explosive shorter distance and Ange would be quicker as it got further. Would've liked to have seen a straight sprint across the field.
Ange took a terrible stance for the starting position, way too upright to create the explosiveness needed to lower his times, but I agree he would be the quicker of the two 40 meters plus
Fun to watch, serious speed from both! Need some standardizing of the details for a level comparison, and for others to take the challenge at home and compare themselves to the sports best: - In the timed runs the start distance from the first cells (the farther the more speed you build up before the stopwatch starts) and the height of the cells (should be hip height for fairness) otherwise hand/arm swing can cut the cell "ahead" of the runner in Caleb's case (bad for start good for finish) and foot/leg swing could be ahead or behind runner when cells are placed so low in Anges case (good/bad for start finish). Both these can account for enough difference (specially the start distance) to tip the balance each since the result differences are in the 0.09 range. - In the run+pass the ball placement as has been mentioned extensively in other comments. Cool content, congrats!
@mmpj twod yeah it was 1.85 but that was at the 10m mark from the moment the gun went off and from blocks, so both reaction time (RT), block and center of mass (CoM) delay is factored in that time, whereas the rugby guys had a standing start and the clock was started once they crossed the first set of cells (which it seems from the video that in Calebs case were slightly further away from his starting spot compared to Ange thus allowing him slightly more space and time to accelerate before he crossed the first set of cells and the time started) so they had a slight run-in, these differences can easily account for 0.3 to 0.5 secs for these guys so there is the short answer. On the other side we can try and work out how much Bolt would have taken in similar conditions since his RT and first steps data is available, so: - Bolts RT in that race was 0.165 - Block start disadvantage (lower CoM and CoM slightly behind 0 metre mark) until first step push off start could account for another 0.135 at least, until Bolt would have "cut" the cells So 1.85 - 0.165 - 0.125 = 1,56 for Bolt in "similar" conditions
Better form on that 3rd one Caleb... especially driving arm movement!! Back in my day i was an outside center/winger. I speed trained with the Boise State University wide receivers and they all helped me with form I helped them with endurance training... Jake Jacoby and a few others. Way before you were born... late 1970's and early 1980's. Keep the faith, I still love the game and watching you guys is fantastic!!
I'd say Capuzzo is more of a stepper and glider and Clarke is more like a power runner which helps for sprints. But having said that Clarke showed his skill and accuracy in passing off both sides in the last challenge. That is the Kiwi catch-pass magic which still is unmatched in the rugby world.
im so amazed at caleb holding such a big frame and beating the lighter man in the 10 metre and even the last challenge its harder to move at speed get down pick the ball and swivel your body all while moving at a rate of knots
The 70m wasn't fair. Clarke picked up ball before target, could run 2-4 yards and then pass. Capuzzo picked up ball next to target, so had to pass backwards. PLEASE BE CONSISTENT IN THE RULES.
i remember when i was a kid I went to watch the big final . For half time entertainment all the other teams (not in the final) put their fastest player forward to a length of the field sprint.
@@WorldRugby I thought clubs were keeping their data on players a secret!? That's why I was surprised to see Clarke running a 40m sprint, as that is the distance all clubs use. If you are allowed to approach clubs then Louis Rees-Zammit, Rieko Ioane (to see if he is actually as quick as they make out to be), Teddy Thomas, Hogg would be interesting over this distance, Mapimpi, Kolbe, Fassi, Alex Cuthbert, Jordan Larmour, Habosi, Koroibete,. If you can get some of these for a match up then I think your channel and views would start to increase as people would like to see how fast the current to guys are moving. If you could do a pitch race, post to post, that would be some entertainment!
Capuzzo had the balls unfairly placed on the line of the target...how can you get this wrong? You are supposed to create the same challenge. I see you don't have serious people planning these challenges. I now wonder if the sensors at the starting point were also placed in the same way for both athletes. You need to standarize the challenges and maybe hire more detail oriented people...
100% with ya on that buddy, I noticed it straight away and also gotta take in the wind factor. Capuzzo maybe running into the wind? But well done Caleb 👍
It’s a cool challenge, but you’re 100% right, unfortunately it wasn’t the same for both competitors. I know this is just a bit of fun and entertainment but it should be done equally for both players. A shame that whoever was setting out the challenges couldn’t get this right which would have made it more fun and more entertaining.
@@StantonWarrior4 well that's the french fault and also, why does the french get to know caleb's time? its like extra motivation and a known target to beat
Every French fan has known 10 nightmarish years where such a defeat was quite common...and if we have today a magnificent team that fills us with joy, we do not forget that the wheel turns. That's why, beyond the historical rivalry between England and France, I feel sad for our best enemies. The important thing is to come back, stronger! Vive l'Angleterre, vive la France, vive le rugby!
And we probably had an inside agent placing the balls right on line instead of placed before the tackle bags in the French camp 🤣 Go Caleb, weapon like your old man 💪🏻🔥💯
@@Erock1275 they weren't even timed off first movement - they were about 0.5 metres behind a timing gate which triggered the timer when they went through it, so not only is the reaction time not factored in, they were already in significant forward motion when the timer started - massive massive difference to the timing protocols used in T&F. You can add 0.4 to these times. That said they don't use blocks and it's on grass, but they'd still be way back on Bolt after 10 metres.
If you look at the size difference people Caleb should have lost being the bigger bulkier more muscle carrying player! He passing skill was way better than the other guy. If you ain’t pleased about the challenge maybe they should do a ‘Run it Straight’ challenge and see who is more devastating in a rugby game lol! We know who would win that one easy, my man CC!
None of the tests really showed Capuozzo's real strength, which is his amazing ability to change direction at very high speed. The way he beat Kieran Hardy during Italy's win in Wales in 2022 was astonishing.
Il prossimo anno, alla Coppa del Mondo, Capuozzo farà un c..o così alla Francia e ci porterà, per la prima volta nella storia, ai quarti di finale. VAI MITICO ANGE !!!!!
Le problème technique de Cappuozo au démarrage est qu'il n'utilise pas assez ses bras qui doivent être plus proches de son corps et ses premiers appuis partent dans tout les sens. Il doit avoir les pieds droits pour envoyer plus de puissance. Caleb Clarke n'est pas assez penché, pas assez en pousser, pas assez en recherche de puissance sur les 30 premiers mètres, il doit être penché et se relever progressivement
Ange had the balls placed beside the targets for the last challenge… by the time he picked up the ball he had to turn backwards to throw the ball at the target.
Wow yeah, imagine If Jonah did this in his Hschool days he would have carved a new record to add to his HS history Athletic records he broke in nearly every event.
Just because you’re built bigger doesn’t always mean the smaller person is faster. Fast twitch fibers is natural in Maori and Polynesian DNA built with sturdy frames. We carry it well
Caleb Clarke is fast, but he isn't even the fastest player in the All Blacks (assuming he makes the All Blacks again this year :-) Rieko Ioane is faster.

No we haven't,and we don't give a,;:!? If you lot from wherever he comes from want him in a challenge. Do you own, don't moan about who's not in on this,,talk about salty people,,
The balls were placed in line with the bags for the Italian player, while it was easier for Caleb as they were behind so he could pick up, stabilise and throw. At least get the same tests going for each player.
@@chalkandcheese1868 How so? 40 yard dash is 36.5m. A 4.8 40m is close to 10m per second top end, which is worth 0.1s per M. The 3.5m difference is worth .35s. so 4.87 - .35 equals 4.52 40yard dash. Roughly. It could be more if the player has apoor start. Get you facts straight before you call someone out. 👍
@@reddragon1572 Because hand timed sprints are a joke, proper electronically time the sprints and they'd be massively slower, and mostly because rugby player's sprinting prowess is wildly inflated. Those two guys would be lucky to break 12 seconds for the 100.
@@chalkandcheese1868 Who was using hand timed sprints? They used electronic timing gates. Exactly the same as in the combine. Low 11's these guys would be. Remember they were on grass with no blocks. A track with spikes is way quicker and blocks help loads, if you know how to use them properly. My only issue with this test is that the laser doesn't trigger right away so you get about. 2 headstart. You could take that away from a track with blocks though so it's not far off. Only thing is obviously reaction time.
@@reddragon1572 Not even close, low 12s and I'm being generous with that, and using running spikes can be a hinderance if you don't know how to use them, so it's silly when people say, " wow imagine how quick they'd be with spikes" I remember a sprint challenge years ago in Australia to find the fastest footballers from each code. Lachie Turner, probably the fastest Australian rugby player in modern history and an outstanding junior sprinter, won in 11.10, and Jarryd Hayne, the fastest league player, ran 11.20 with months of special training and help from Usain Bolt himself. Rugby players, soccer players, and even NFL players sprint times are massively exaggerated. They get shown up, and humiliated in the real world.
Caleb isn't balanced enough in open play when he is at full pace. Often he stumbles but if he gets this sorted he will be even better. For reference on balanced running look at clips of Christian Cullen, Rupeni Caucau etc.
True ,butnfl combine is 40yrds indoors ,on turf in sprinting shoes. If they were doing 40m/44yrd out doors, on grass in boots/cleats It would probably be alot closer.
Which rugby players would you like to see take on the sprint challenge?
Rieko Ioane but if anyone then Carlin Isles
Makozole mapimpi so that people can see how much pace he bags
Monty Ioane
Sbu nkosi
Caucaunibuca

Muscle mass is directly proportional to power. Not a surprise, basic physics. Excess non-muscle mass will weigh you down, muscle will speed you up.

If you lot from wherever he comes from want him in a challenge. Do you own, don't moan about who's not in on this,,talk about salty people,,
Arundell and LRZ SHOULD GIVE THIS A GO
Was thinking exactly the same thing
Was this recorded on a phone?
Cheslin Kolbe please 🙏
Big CC got some Big cubic capacity.. no wonder the Blues are doing so well
Cheeeeehoooooo...go the Blues ...and Les Bleus.......
a fun watch nonetheless
Would love to see Beauden Barrett with this Challenge 😬
ooooo, now that would be awesome! One of the fastest ever?
@@WorldRugby one hundred percent 💯
@@ChalynRugby not even close
Chezlin, Kurt Lee, fassi, Moody
What is the weight of Ange and Caleb?
75kg and 108kg
ents for Caleb were different than for Ange. Caleb's were 5 metres or so in
Can we see Beauden Barrett in the speed challenge??
Where's the next round?
I’m 14 and I get 1.5 flat usally for 10m and 4.8-4.5 for 40m, is that good?
A lot of experts in this thread
Carlin Isles and Perry Baker
That last challenge setup was different so the advantage was for Caleb...
BEAST MODE💪🏾
ACTIVATED! Is he the scariest fast man on the planet? Surely up there?
@@WorldRugby FO SHO!!!....didn't realize he was that quick👍🏾
The balls were placed in line with the bags for the Italian player, while it was easier for Caleb as they were behind so he could pick up, stabilise and throw. At least get the same tests going for each player.
Have you had zammit do this? If not you should get him to
Can we have a 4x100m relay. Blues would be Beaudy, Caleb, Sheck & Reiko as anchor.
Heem might be quicker than Sheck
Sheck has lost some speed, Heem lost a bit of speed too. But Heem is faster over 100m.
Wake me up when Adam Radwan takes part.
Never heard any of these 2 mentioned as the fastest players
Some people can run fast. Some people can run fast and play rugby better than everyone else. This is what they mean when they say “equity”
Caleb be doing the suiii
Cheslin Kolbe!!
Sbu Nkosi is slightly faster, barely though. 10.59s vs 10.70s over 100m sprint distance.
Defeats the entire purpose, they are not even in the same conditions
Caleb Clarke is my favourite player
Extra points for Kalepo cos he has a heavier poki to carry
Caleb Clarke twice his size, I thought the other dude was a soccer player 😂
I thought you were going to say win but then you said soccer player, made me 😂👍🏽
Shane Williams wasn't exactly huge.
Would have been good to see them run a slalom
Those are about 4.5 40 yard dash times. Pretty much nfl speed on softer pitch.
Rubbish
@@chalkandcheese1868 How so? 40 yard dash is 36.5m. A 4.8 40m is close to 10m per second top end, which is worth 0.1s per M. The 3.5m difference is worth .35s. so 4.87 - .35 equals 4.52 40yard dash. Roughly. It could be more if the player has apoor start. Get you facts straight before you call someone out. 👍
@@reddragon1572 Because hand timed sprints are a joke, proper electronically time the sprints and they'd be massively slower, and mostly because rugby player's sprinting prowess is wildly inflated. Those two guys would be lucky to break 12 seconds for the 100.
@@chalkandcheese1868 Who was using hand timed sprints? They used electronic timing gates. Exactly the same as in the combine. Low 11's these guys would be. Remember they were on grass with no blocks. A track with spikes is way quicker and blocks help loads, if you know how to use them properly. My only issue with this test is that the laser doesn't trigger right away so you get about. 2 headstart. You could take that away from a track with blocks though so it's not far off. Only thing is obviously reaction time.
@@reddragon1572 Not even close, low 12s and I'm being generous with that, and using running spikes can be a hinderance if you don't know how to use them, so it's silly when people say, " wow imagine how quick they'd be with spikes" I remember a sprint challenge years ago in Australia to find the fastest footballers from each code. Lachie Turner, probably the fastest Australian rugby player in modern history and an outstanding junior sprinter, won in 11.10, and Jarryd Hayne, the fastest league player, ran 11.20 with months of special training and help from Usain Bolt himself. Rugby players, soccer players, and even NFL players sprint times are massively exaggerated. They get shown up, and humiliated in the real world.
How was LRZ not selected?
Caleb isn't balanced enough in open play when he is at full pace. Often he stumbles but if he gets this sorted he will be even better. For reference on balanced running look at clips of Christian Cullen, Rupeni Caucau etc.
Luis-reece-zemmit
@SecOnD tO nOnE vs Arundel
For all us nfl fans if my calculations are right these guys both run a 4.4 40 yard dash which is effing fast
Not bad too when Clarke is around 230 pounds
@@amatmc8319 indeed he's a beast
Ange ♥️
Clarky to good ❤
Ball placement was a problem, but actually Rugby need more player like Ange, Rugby is not longer any size game, but really big'o dudes
And those NFL players are doing 4.20's in the 40 yard dash. Would be cool to do a cross over
True ,butnfl combine is 40yrds indoors ,on turf in sprinting shoes.
If they were doing 40m/44yrd out doors, on grass in boots/cleats
It would probably be alot closer.
@@rodreid8936 ya would like to see a cross over see what times NFL players get with the extra 3 and a half meters
Why a passing challenge for wingers? they're primarily finishers not distributors...
YEAH THE BLUES!! 💙💙
