[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 663619, member: 57076"] Habana will break the 100-cap mark this TRC. In an all-time XV, he's just got to have one of the two spots at winger because of his speed, alone. Here you have a guy who makes things happen that never should happen in a Rugby game with other pro athletes who play the same game, train just as much, all year long. He's a 5-step shortcut in attack, can simply skip 4 or 5 steps/phases of attack for the team he plays on and save his team intricate attacking structure or aeons of effort by his sole pace. However technical, accomplished, experienced another winger is (Lomu barred), he'll never have the impact Habana has had. Habana has literally single-handedly produced 7-pointers consistently for S.A., and not to say SA aren't good without him, of course they are, but 7 points in a Rugby game aren't a negligible figure as to the outcome of the match. He was kind of God's gift to the Springboks, to be perfectly honest in hindsight...(again, not to imply anything about the Boks). [/QUOTE]
