Ryan Kankowski try vs the Waratahs

[44redman1]

guys how dare you even say these playes are running low 10s for the 100m

lachi turner (AUSTRALIAS FASTEST ATHELETE) ran 11.2 on the track and probly had a few weeks too prepare for the race. lachie turner weighs like 88kg. theres no way anybody over 100kg is running faster then lachie. INFACT alot of those dedicated sprinters can only just get 10.3 for the 100.

@44redman1

Hey nob head Pierre Spies weighs 110kg and runs 100m in 10.7...I dont rate him as a player at all but he has been timed at 10.7

kankowski is right with him or just behind him for pace.

Dont go blabbering about things you have no idea about

[44redman1]

@fedliam07 aw true maybe spies should have cut down on body fat and dropped his weight too 90kg of lean fast twitch muscle fibres. i once ran a 10:8 in school, with a grade 9 girl at the stop watch, doubt it was accurate at all, was spies electronicaly timed? wheres your video proof mate? dont just go around trying to state what we have all read. you know that saying? believe none of what you hear and half of what you see?

your just a typical sheep following what the net says. loser face

[fedliam07]

@44redman1

at 6% body fat i think he is doing alright...dont go talking fast twitch fibres and so on mate, im in human movements i know all about it...Spies (once again an over-rated player) is a phenomenal athlete and competed and junior national level for track and field...if im not mistaken was also Discus champion at age level.

[fedliam07]

@44redman1

and with regard to Kankowski check this clip out...identical situation.

He gets the ball at exactly 50 and covers the distance in 6 sec while slowing down last 10m or so...

given that the last 50 is even quicker i would imagine 5 sec? = 11 sec (obviously impossible to estimate in tenths of a second and so on)

[44redman1]

@fedliam07 so your saying a number 8 weighing around 106kg is running faster then lachie turner over 100m....on grass....in football boots...probably metal studs being a forward...? are you sure about your methods? i am pretty quick over the hundred (electronically timed @ 11.3) but on a footy field i can only run around mid 12s (in footy boots). theres no way kankers or spies are running 1.8. and theres no way lomu could do it either. id estimate kankowski at 12 flat on a track, spies would...

[44redman1]

@44redman1 be around 12 aswell and lomu would have been about 11.5-6

[fedliam07]

@44redman1

I was talking estimates about the kankowski run because i dont know his exact time!!!

Whether you like it or not Pierre Spies ran 10.7 on the track....and FYI you dont even know your own athletes...

Lachie Turner isnt your fastest, Rod Davies is faster...

[fedliam07]

@44redman1

Dont be so narrow minded

[gizarangi]

what a great try gotta love a forward running like that hahaha drew got smoked

[lemanugls]

bahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­ha

[datnotfair]

wasn't even close to being offside

[arno980]

kanko is faster than spies! And better too

[UrbanRedBull]

@arno980 lol no he isnt kid. Ryan 11;02, spies 10:3 at bok training before autumn internationals.

[tmawman31]

@UrbanRedBull can you send me a link to that information?

[87Kiwiboi]

@UrbanRedBull spies 10:3? Isn't that quicker than Habana? Where'd you read that...

[TennisCoachno1]

@UrbanRedBull haha dude for spies your talking out your ass

[datnotfair]

@UrbanRedBull spies is not 10:3. That is faster then MOST world wingers!!

[UrbanRedBull]

@datnotfair Dude he was a winger, all through school and then due to his size, they moved him into the forwards when he got into rep. teams

[datnotfair]

@datnotfair I know he used to be a winger!!! But now he aint 10:3 in the hundred!

[durbaniter]

Kankowski is a brilliant player! RK is interestingly the latest Jew to play for SA. Other famous Jewish Boks are Bennie Osler, Okkie Geffen, Cecil Moss and Joel Stransky.

[Raffi22132]

@durbaniter hey man is he really jewish?? im jewish and never knew?? anyway thanx man!

[Romenya]

@Raffi22132 kankowski isn't jewish.. he has said so himself on the Q&A section of his official website.

[Raffi22132]

@Romenya hey guys stop replying to me, i didn't post that comment my friend did using my profile... i dont give a crap about rugby

[Romenya]

@durbaniter kankowski isn't jewish..

[uChakide]

Typical Aussie commentators, no idea about the laws at all! The line out was over before Kanko crossed the line. The Waratahs took the throw early and essentially allowed him to gather a good head of steam before he reached the line out and well the rest is history as they say.

[watsy17]

now im only 17 but even i dont understand how this man hasnt made the springboks side yet he's an awsome player to watch have him sub with pierce spies and you have one hell of number 8 duo

[patergaskin]

Kankowski was most definitely ONSIDE.

If you pause the video at the moment Luke Burgess offloads the pass, you can clearly see that Kanko is behind the passer.

If you pause the video at the moment the ball is thrown from the lineout to the scrumhalf, you can clearly see that Kanko is behind the waratahs line.

Onside. Brilliant try.

[TheQotsaRules]

A weird sidestep there, very weird.

[mjribes]

"Mile offsides" my ass!! Awesome try!! Nice one Hoff!!!

[Myself0101]

he wasn't offside in the slightest!

[catgotyourtongue08]

and its open play anyway so he wasn't

[Austin333]

think that aussie commentator is a bit bitter! 'mile offside!'

[xGunno]

sick
