Tom Varndell (born 16 September 1985 in Ashford, Kent) is an English rugby union footballer who plays on the wing for London Wasps, England and England Sevens. He claims to have been clocked at 10.8 seconds for the 100 metres in his socks on grass.[1] If correct, this data suggests that Varndell could run much faster over 100 metres, rendering him as arguably one of the fastest men in World Rugby.
