England's Six Nations debutant is one of the fastest players around
Yesterday at 04:46 PM
Speed kills in rugby, and every year, the Six Nations delivers a showcase of rapid wingers and elusive full-backs who can turn a game in a split second.
Find your local Greene King and settle in for the 2025 Six Nations!
Whether it’s a coast-to-coast solo effort, a lightning counter-attack, or a perfectly timed support line, the quickest players can leave even the best defenders clutching at thin air.
But who is the fastest of them all? It's a debate that rages among fans, with highlights and slow-motion replays often replacing hard data. One thing's for sure—these five speedsters are set to terrorise defences and ignite the tournament.
Damien Penaud (France) – The try machine
A deadly finisher with a turn of pace to match, Penaud has made a habit of ghosting past defenders. Blink, and you'll miss him.
Hugo Keenan (Ireland) – The elusive runner
Keenan's not just quick—he's smart. His acceleration and game awareness make him a nightmare to track, and when he hits top gear, good luck stopping him.
Darcy Graham (Scotland) – The pocket rocket
Small in stature, huge in speed. Graham's low centre of gravity and rapid footwork make him one of the most dangerous broken-field runners in the tournament.
Ange Capuozzo (Italy) – The magician
He's got pace, he's got flair, and he's got the ability to turn a game on its head in an instant. Capuozzo's blistering acceleration saw him carve up defences in last year's Six Nations—expect more of the same.
Cadan Murley (England) – The uncapped speedster
Murley might be new to the international scene, but he's no stranger to scorching defenders. The Harlequins flyer has serious wheels and will be desperate to prove he belongs on the big stage.
