Coming at ya.

Ulster winger Michael Allen has equalled the Guinness World Record for the fastest rugby pass. Allen beat provincial teammates such as Paul Marshall, Franco van der Merwe and Michael Heaney at the BT Speed Test Challenge. His hoick, of 77 kilometres per hour, beat the next best effort from second-row van der Merwe. The throw matched the previous record of Wasps' Joe Simpson. Ulster fans will be invited to test their passing arm at Kingspan Ravenhill stadium ahead of their Friday clash with Scarlets.
