Measuring speed
40m sprint
The 40m sprint or speed test, like the 10m, is done on the field. The main aim of the 40m is to measure maximum running speed, which is of greatest importance to the speedsters in the back. A wing or fullback should be able to do the 40m in 5.10 seconds with ease. New-generation forwards are not allowed to be laggards though; even the props must make the distance in 5.65 seconds.
