[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 756472, member: 39190"] I love Habana. But I don't even know if he is the greatest SA player in this squad and certainly not all time! I mean, if I were picking the Bok matchday squad Habana's name wouldn't be the first I'd pen down is what I'm getting at. That said he is level with Lomu on tries scored at a single RWC (8) and level with Lomu on all time tries (15) at RWCS despite having more RWC games. Will he add more? Will he become the most prolific try scorer overall- who is it currently Daihata (spelling?). Its probably more a testament of his endurance and continued class more than anything. Lets also not forget that Habana's record is in the pro era and not the still amateurish days where Lomu did his thing; two totally different beast. Also, Habana's Springboks has over the years not always been the type of team and following a game plan that is friendly to a winger's try chances. He also has a lot of other factors in his favor and is arguably a bit more rounded. Back to the OP's question; certainly a legend of SA rugby and will make anyone's all time Bok XV along with probably Carel du Plessis on the other wing even if probably not top Bok ever. [/QUOTE]
