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.

@mcm375 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.

I would have to disagree with this comment completely. chav receives, sivi is a good yrd in front of him which would effect the figures you describe. figures also based on the whole field but this chase takes place between the 22m and 10 to roughly the opposing 10m line. Chav is also running with ball while sivi is running without. if you ask any player who has done any sort of sprinting this makes a difference.

Clear difference in the pace of the two if you ask me bcos sivi gives up so easily

@GamingEpix Thats totally un called for.

@instantsurgery Chavhanga started drifting towards the posts after Sivivatu gave up the chase, even if Sivivatu kept chasing him Chavhanga would've stayed on his wing and would've scored a try. Sivivatu did the right move by giving up what was going to be a try regardless and save his energy for the rest of the match.

@hemhemimakatekobum

Sivivatu always gives up way to early!

[instantsurgery]

@mcm375 did you watch the video? actually he doesn't. Chavhanga starts on the line then drifts closer to the posts. Sivi starts where Chavhanga finishes pretty much. all he had to do was run straight. Chavhanga actually covered more distance.

@mcm375 To be honest, I believe that's a valid point but I don't see it as the reason he gave up. He knew there was nothing he could do, it was pointless expending more energy. Was best to just save it for the rest of the game.

[GamingEpix]

thats what happens when you have to chase your food every day.

[humm2thaU]

he didnt get smoked did you see him gasing it from the otherside that other cat always would have scored a try

[brennanfourfingers]

The only Unbelievable thing i see in this clip is how the 5 forwards could have lost the ball in front of the try line against a back..
