That’s what we call a successful debut. For his first appearance with the New Zealand rugby sevens team at the Seven Series, Michael Manson scored an incredible try. Against Australia, the 24-year-old winger started from his goal line after kicking the ball over the opposing defense. At the end of an extraordinary sprint where he was flashed at 39.9 km/h, he managed to recover the ball himself to score in the opposing goal.
Faster than Louis Bielle-Biarrey
Recently, it was a French rugby player who stood out for his impressive top speed. A few days ago, the Louis Bielle-Biarrey rocket notably beat Christophe Lemaitre, former European 100m champion, during a sprint captured by Canal + cameras. He was then flashed at 38.5 km/h.
And more recently, this Thursday, February 5, the 22-year-old winger once again got the ball rolling during the French victory against Ireland, scoring a magnificent try along the touchline.
