Get Dupont to do it one handed, then you'll see A Smith knocked off the top.

[@markmuller8829]

One handed will always be faster - it's bio mechanics & physics. The outside arc is longer and can then therefore generate more power which translates to speed. Trying to keep the inside hand on the ball, as with conventional passing technique, limits the arc, therefore the power, therefore the speed.....

[@guibole93]

That’s why, imo, Dupont won the first one

Needs to be a traditional 2-handed rugby pass, not a generic throw - give the ball to pretty much any lock pushing 7-foot with hands the size of baseball mitts and let him chuck it like Smith, and they'll destroy 69kmph \m/

@@antoneverbright haha I still don't understand how you can think that. A pass is a pass. Nowhere in the laws does it specify that a pass has to be made with two hands.

Air temperature difference of only 5°c will already significantly change the speed difference because the weight of the ball changes with altitude and air temperature. Was the soeedguns calibrated, probably not... This was a waist of time from a technical point of view.
