I kid you not Senatla was totally stepped for one USA try. And then Unufe, the most dangerous runner on the park accelerated away from a desperately diving Senatla. Rather disappointing for those of us who felt he might be a Bok option....he has to learn how to tackle first. And one wonders if he is as fast as some  believe.

Another Ngwenya vs Habana situation I guess, I wonder which player has achieved more and will be remembered.

The USA,Tall, athletic, quick and still work in progress.. There was a hint of improvement in the Dubai series, are we about to see an emerging giant from a minnow rugby nation?


If they do i t could be healthy for rugby.

I agree Denny, the Olympics could be the catalyst if they make it.

 Senatla needs to learn that he has six team mates.

Senatla continues to miss more tackles than he makes .

Moz as per usual you have it completely wrong. That Yank beats another defender and Senatla dives to try get him what the hell did that have to do with tackling or speed.
Let me guess poor old Senatla now finds himself on your hit list moving forward.

Rubbish Dave....two tries came from Senatala misses. The first he was stepped cross eyed. In the second he had a good shot at Unufe who simply accelerated away from him.

 No he did not have a good crack at that guy. I taped it and rewound it to check what happened. Senatla had no chance of getting him.....later on the same guy gets past Senatla and he hauls him in with ease.

 Balls Dave....pure unadulterated balls. Senatla was parallel to Unufe when he broke inside towards him. He went high, got fended....and then got gassed and fell down. Since when do you have no chance of making a tackle when you get fended? 
After all the bs about US athletes our fastest player was beaten for pace by the second or third fastest Eagle. Embarrassing.

Whenever air flows around a speeding projectile aerodynamic principles come into play.........  I'd send Senatla to the barber . Chop-chop .

 Absolute rubbish he did NOT get beaten by the guy for pace absolute bullshit. That miss had very little to do with Senatla and everything to do with the first defender that missed the tackle. Senatla is left only trying to dive for him. It had NOTHING to do with a foot race and that is a FACT.
I watched that clip a few times.

Absolute balls Dave he was parallel to the guy, had a perfect shot at him and got fended. And then as Unufe accelerated away he tried for a dive as he realized he wasn't going to catch him ....monstered and gassed.

Absolute rubbish....confirmed in the speed stakes later on when Unufe gets past Senatla and Senatla reels him in with ease through sheer pace......no contest at all

 Sadly for the point you are making Dave, there were about 3 minutes left after Unufe scored.....3 minutes he spent on the bench.
Speed ranking on that field
1 Isles.....by 5 metres over the 100.
2 Unufe
3 Baker
4 Senatla.

Wrong only Isles is faster......Senatla has a 10.16 for the 100m and watching him score that try against Fiji, confirmed his blistering pace

Sure just like he caught Unufe while Unufe was sitting on the bench. He is nowhere near 10.16. Nor is there any record of this. He supposedly ran 10.6 as a school boy of 17. But who knows if that was a good reading. To me he looks like a 10.8 second man. Far slower than the young Chavanga.

Oh what utter rubbish, now all of a sudden its 10.6 when he was 17.

 

In one of the 7' series this year, it was stated in commentary that he ran the 100m in 10.16......but to you he looks like he runs 10.8.....wow that is a special talent.

 

Chavanga wishes he had been as quick.

 

I reckon only Isles in faster in the game
