It was the moment that catapulted American winger Zee Ngwenya into the conscious of the Rugby Universe.

America, already losing heavily, turned over South African ball in their own twenty two and, in the ultimate counter attack, the ball was spread wide to the Zimbabwean born flier, Ngwenya, who showed ridiculous velocity to burn his way down the outside, past Bryan Habana of all people, to touch down.

Ngwenya shows his lightning pace

A magnificent virtuoso try in the RWC2007 that even left the great Bryan Habana tackling dust catapulted Zee Ngwenya into world Rugby prominence and the Zimbabwean born USA international has built a career such breathtaking moments of pace.

Another famous example of Ngwenya’s elusive pace and direct running was in the 2010 Heineken Cup Quarter Final against Welsh side, Ospreys.

After a botched scrum attempt by the Ospreys, Biarritz turned the ball over and fed Ngwenya who evaded the attention of, amongst others, Shane Williams to go the length of the pitch to score one of the Heineken Cups’ most famous tries.
