In this instant Sivivatu got smoked but overall he's a much better player than Chavhanga. Just like wargasmnz said sprint times are irrelevant and only show what times a player could get to if they're in the right conditions which we all know never happens on a Rugby field.

People seem to forget how wide a rugby field is...

Sivi gives up because he's needs to run an angle while 15 is running tramline down the wing. Huge difference in distance covered.

Rugby field being no wider than 70 meters, 100 meters between try lines means the field diagonal is sqrt(70^2 + 100^2) = 122m. If the guy running the win can run an 11 sec 100, the guy running the diagonal would need the pace of a 9.01s 100m just to keep pace, let alone catch him.

Watch one of my other videos of Marika Vunibaka and try telling Rua Tipoki that. Like Jackk10065 said if you played you may understand this. Science comes up with logical ways of figuring most things out but in the end alot of it is just theory.

I can see the logic in what you've explained and that's how it should be but for some things this isn't always true.

Sivi was coming from any angle...if same side than no contest..Sivi is faster..

[dombonhema]

Go Zimbabwe yea him and ngwenya are awesome

[ProShockzUK]

Chavangah's faster face it

[Will Patt]

Watch the video again and see Sitiveni was on the opposite wing almost when the ball was turned over, by the time he caught up Chavanga was just starting to sprint, you can only maintain top speed for so long. Acceleration and timing of your burst is what is crucial in rugby, track time is almost irrelevant.

Meh noobs

Chavhanga has more pace. Obviously.

Sivivatu has more skills. Obviously.

Who would you rather have in your team?

Cool maths, pity not even close to applicable to this situation! Sivi had an extra 2-3m at most to run.
