"The stuff in the 22, like. Bundee Aki's around the back offload and then you had Tiernan O'Halloran's offload as well and there were just offloads everywhere. "Then Denis Buckley's pass out the back to me and I was fortunate enough that I got Matthew Morgan kind of flat-footed. I actually thought... I was like, 'How did I beat him?' because I wouldn't be the quickest. I looked at me speed thing and I wasn't quick at all. I was surprised I actually got there in the end."[caption id="attachment_199723" align="aligncenter" width="887"]

Players can go back to their G.P.S trackers and now pick out specific in-game moments, and track what speeds they reached (as well as other analytical data).
Carty admits his pace may not be enough to burn past most covering defenders but several of his teammates are charting impressive numbers.
"They did it last week, I think. Marmo, Bundee and a few others were trying to get their top speeds. Marmo hit a 10.7 (metres per second). That's north of 37 kilometres (per hour). "It was after training. We were doing sprints after... 10.7. He's the fastest man in Connacht rugby history. That's ridiculously quick."[caption id="attachment_199721" align="aligncenter" width="640"]

Trimble would have clocked decent metre-per-second times (clocked over 20- and 40-metre sprints) during his time with Ulster and was mightily impressed with Marmion's feat. "Jacob Stockdale or Craig Gilroy would be quick," he says, "but none of them were getting 10.7s."
"Galway, now," Carty adds, "does have a slight breeze!"
We can now elevate Marmion into our provincial speed leaderboard, with his 10.7 m.p.s improving on the swift 10.0 m.p.s benchmark set by Rory Scholes last season.
