World's fastest rugby player scores epic 90-metre try

The man that beat the Irish Sevens ladies in hotel sprints was in electric form in London.

US RUGBY PLAYER Carlin Isles scorched up the Twickenham pitch yesterday as he ran in four tries at the inaugural World Club 7s tournament.

Lining out for San Francisco, Isles ran amok in London with the pick of the bunch coming against Northampton. Isles received a pass inside his own half and turned on the afterburners, sprinting 90 metres before touching down for his side’s opening try.

Earlier this year, the Irish Women’s Seven side threw down the sprinting gauntlet to Isles in Moscow. Amy Davis challenged the world’s fastest rugby player to a race down a long hotel corridor… and lost.

He also jumped over a car in 2011. We felt that we had to mention that — here is the clip:

Isles and San Francisco take on Auckland in the quarter finals of the event today.
