of cors this is just a game but its interesting to no what ea’s opinion is in my opinion…caucau was the fastest (when he was fit) followed by probably either habana or chavhanga…robinson number 1 for acceleration and fastest legs on any player…but i love how caucau runs…takes good long strides…if habana ran like that he would be even faster
Thanks for getting the speed info Elliot. One thing i liked about Caucau is he made time stop with his explosive running tempo, he knew exactly when to mix it up to take the opportunity to the max.
That’s why he always scores tries.
