I don't think these are the best rugby teams in the world he's playing, but its pretty damned funny how they have no idea how to get the angle on him.

Hell, I don't know... never paid attention.

article about Carlin Isles previewing this weekend's Vegas 7s
They don't have IRB World Rankings for 7s, but here's the current overall rankings of rugby teams in the world
In Rugby Sevens, probably looking like this:
1. New Zealand
2. Fiji
3. Samoa
4. England
5. South Africa

I don't know what he's doing but he's fast.

Isles has made the rounds here before, but no rugby guy is going to "Germans" you here. Always worth re-watching. Way to school 'em up, bus.

How the shite did Wales go from Grand Slam to lower than Italy in the course of a year?

They were old as hell and had a bunch of injuries if I remember correctly. Haven't been able to follow it that much this year though

They are.

I think even NFL players would be stunned about taking an angle on that guy on an actual rugby pitch. People have no idea how much space there is on those fields. If you had taken someone like Isles and put him in a rugby country from birth he'd be unstoppable. He'll still have a decent career if he commits himself just because of his unteachable speed.

For anyone interested in seeing him play live he'll likely get some decent minutes in the 7s tournament this weekend. NBC carries it I believe.

It's all Shane Williams' fault for retiring.

Shane is the reason I started following rugby. I remember the first time I saw him and Wales in the Six Nations I about fell out of my seat! Damn that team was fun to watch.

He didn't look to hot missing that pass for the go ahead score in that loss to Wales in Wellington this past weekend.

He's still a raw talent. Give it time, and hopefully those faux pas will happen less frequently.

Wow, I don't pay attention to rugby but I do respect it. Thanks for posting that video, that guy has unteachable speed, wow! How is the USA rugby team doing btw? Improving at all? Fill me in plz
