I just can't believe more people haven't enjoyed this feast...even with the awful compression of old video :) Anyway glad you enjoyed.

🤣

Yeah, as I've said elsewhere in the comments by the time Jonny has gone 40m he's cramping or some kind of knock is taking it's toll.

Yeah Walker had something like a 10.3/10.4 hundred iirc but I'm not sure he was that fast by the time he was playing internationally. The fastest I can think of otherwise are JJ, Ieuan, Glen Webbe and Mark Jones (when they all first came through) but Zammit would be quicker that those guys I imagine.

JJ was pure pace but i don't know numbers.

Spot on mate, good entertainment not a scientific comparison. That's why I uploaded it.

I agree Phil, there's a host of factors that may have slowed him down both long term and short-term. Injury, surgery, fatigue, cramp, overtraining, bulking up....etc. I don't think just being 30 is a reason. I would love to be 30 again 😁

The limp only sets in after 30 metres, he may well have been cramping up. I think everyone can see it.

Just watching it again on a big screen, I just think it's a fatigue induced head pump. I don't think there's anything wrong with him.

How do you mean "slogging"? What was he doing that LZR wasn't?

@@stevenbenjamincole Well, for a start...11 more years, 2 major knee surgeries and over 200 more professional games...

@@kemuse1 you said "slogging all game", it seemed to me you were implying that May was doing stuff that Zammit wasn't. Thats what I'm interested in. BTW I don't think you need to defend him, as I and others have said elsewhere the size of the gap was probably just down to fatigue. Being 30 doesn't slow you down, the other factors you mention may well do but I've seen no evidence of him being slowed down before.

​@@stevenbenjamincole May has still got it, but is noticeably below his peak gas when burning the entire Welsh and SA teams in 2018. Look at the Eng vs NZ semi final, he got quite easily caught by Jordie Barrett from an angle. Still a quality player.

@@kemuse1 Yeah I agree but like I said I hadn't noticed him losing pace. But then I'm not an avid Leicester, Gloucester or England watcher. I was at the semi in 2019 in Yokohama though but don't remember the incident you mentioned. I also don't remember him "burning" entire teams in 2018 either. I guess it shows how subjective it all is. What I'll remember of jonny May when he retires is the searing pace against NZ a few years ago and his utter cluelessness about certain aspects of the game, like the comedy binding episode when he filled in as flanker. As you said though, quality player and is still one.

Yes, all top sprinters are around 20 rather than 30 aren't they? Oh no wait a minute..... It's the other way round. Jonny May is 30 not 40. On serious note, I'm sure the gap was just down to fatigue, I just posted the video because it was a shock to see anyone passing even a fatigued Jonny May

Varndell might have got there.

(Prime)

Yeah my two favourite players now !

How fast is Teddy?

@@Rebelass74 faster than Zammit probably.

@@Rebelass74 he is the fastest with Kolbe right now, without any doubt

@@tm.8399 Kolbe is not as fast as U think, just elusive. Also there’s some guy from America who makes everyone else look like a joke

Completely. People get too hung up on who is and isn't the fastest, fun though it is. JM has got plenty more tries in him. As an Englishman, I was glad to try wasn't scored, but also massively impressed by LRZ's turn of speed (esp the burst as he opens his stride up). Wales have got a weapon and a half! Good luck going for the GS. 👏

Would’ve but not as good as his try against Scotland

@@tm.8399 it wasn’t a try and although I love Watson, ur deluded if you think he’s faster than zammit

@@tm.8399 what are u on about? Zammit left them all for dead

@@pengurugby1346 (the last overated player was Jonny May actually, jsut running fast, rest in average at best)

@@tm.8399 no he isn’t and zammit isn’t overrated he deserves the hype he is getting disgrace

The kick was the right call, even Rees was calling for it, the issue was he tried to knee it on rather than backing his own pace for the finish. If just collects and pins his ears back, it's try time.

What I was thinking tbh he was by his side could of easily passed to zammit and could have been a different finish maybe

I’m not too sure. May was just too close to him at the start and could have grabbed him or got him with ankle tap. I believe it was the right call to kick, just bit unfortunate with the bounce.

I think he'd have been tackled if he was passed the ball .1. because may was right next to him. 2. because running with a ball messes up your technique

The angle suited Farrell so he had a healthy head start , then all three come past him as he slows down. He's an international 10/12 so he's about where I expect him to be.

Farrell looks like he can’t run, just like his old man😂

Watson covered a lot of ground in that chase

Bro 77th minute XD I think doing a comparison not at the end of the game would be a fairer comparison. LRZ looks fitter and clearly quicker but May is definitely not slow and we've seen that before. His pace has not 'gone' all of a sudden XD

@@joelmalagala He sure did!

Right i'm welsh but i'm gonna have defend May since he just sprinted 50 meters before this clip, and i'm sure zammit is quicker but i don't think by the same amount we see in this clip. And there is no way to have a fair comparison with foot races in rugby. You also have to take into account that we don't actually know these players current stats so it's hard to compare them.

@@oscargt3951 Thank you for actually being fair XD Unreal how after one clip someone says 'May's pace has gone' its ridiculous XD

I was watching may throughout the game and it seemed when we had the ball he was struggling just to keep up with the ball

May is finished long live the new king

It proves nothing. Anthony Watson was moving quicker than May and we already know May is fastest English player.

Sorry mate

@@JoeMama-ms7ox ok Einstein, what does it prove other than zammit ran faster than May on this occasion? I think your name tells us all we need to know!

@@simonjeffs75 calm down old man , salty cos we won and it’s not like may wasn’t trying they both were , Zammit is quicker end of

@@JoeMama-ms7ox he’s also 10 years younger. He should be quicker, much quicker, than 30 year old May. You only have to go watch May scoring tries back in 2011-2014 to see how rapid he was.

As I've said elsewhere, Watson is looking good

Watson, was looking slow in the last games but he proved there that his top speed is still quite good. He really made all the ground up in the last two seconds.

It is about acceleration. May has a really good 100m record but rugby tends to be decided over 10m.

@@GMorgan84 You're right about acceleration being important but what have you been watching? This race was over about 70m!!!

@@stevenbenjamincole True gotta keep in mind also its tougher to turn and run back.... even if just psychological.... Zammo looking pretty rapid; maybe Chicken needs to shed a couple pounds to improve speed?

@@JoseStev Damn right, tracking back your legs feel twice as heavy as when you're chasing down a potential try 😁

@@stevenbenjamincole am an English man but looking at the angles may has a disadvantage as he his running slightly further and in test rugby slim margins can be the difference between being seen as amazing and as poor.
