im 15 years old male, im 6ft tall around 13 stone, i dont do any running clubs so im not expecting to be really fast but for my age n size i think i do not to bad, i can ran 100m in 13-13.5sec and 200m in 27- 29sec is this decent enoughim 15 years old male, im 6ft tall around 13 stone, i dont do any running clubs so im not expecting to be really fast but for my age n size i think i do not to bad, i can ran 100m in 13-13.5sec and 200m in 27- 29sec is this decent enough

They are some pretty quick times, I'm 13 and 11 stone and play Loosehead prop and could never go that fast! Flankers have got to be ready and moderately fast and tough, ready to tackle after a scrum. Your times there, are fine- better than fine for a flanker. Hope I helped.

Youre fast, im quick and im half a second slower at 100 metres and 2 seconds slower at 200 metres. Remember to sprint on the pitch thought not just jog.

thats fairly impressive. your height also helps you with this. you dont have to be fast to be a flanker. leave that tot the wings.
