Corey Toole got the ball inside his in-goal at Twickenham and started running. Sixteen seconds later he scored an incredible solo try.
Corey Toole, the Wagga bullet-train who scored an astonishing 130-metre try for Australia at the London Sevens last weekend, is set to take his flying mullet to Super Rugby next year after signing with the Brumbies.
Commentators rated it a 110-metre effort but calculations based on pitch dimensions at Twickenham make it at least 130 metres. In a 16-second run, Toole hit a top speed of 9.89 metres per second and even leaned back as the run generated an increasing roar from the crowd. Toole, who later set up the Aussies’ winning try in extra-time, has set the sevens world alight this year. After wowing spectators for Gungahlin in Canberra club rugby and for the Brumbies academy, the 22-year-old won a call-up to the Aussie sevens team and began dominating with his electric speed. In his debut season, he has the second most tries and has a clear lead in the World Series Impact player standings, which measures key performance stats, over many seasoned sevens pros.
