I had the privilege to watch Australia at the RL world cup last year, including seeing first hand how phenomenally quick Josh Addo-Carr is. He just goes off like a rocket and as soon as he gets in the clear it's game over, nobody is catching him!

It may be the way the sport is played, but Rugby League has a history of producing some very fast athletes. Others who spring to mind - Martin 'Chariots' Offiah and Jason 'Billy Whizz' Robinson to name a couple.
