[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 157460"] Habanero`s defense not up to scratch? Surely thou art ******** us? Ask a certain mr. Sackey if he felt Habana`s "hit" from the kickoff, then come back with that particular question. You see, [i]that[/i] tackle virtually guaranteed the end of Sackey as an attacking option for the rest of the final, seeing as he was forever more hesitant after that. And there are countless other examples of that type of tackling by Habana, both during this year`s RWC, as well as during the rest of the season. The only reason I can think of slighting his defense might`ve been due to Ngwenya taking him on the outside in the USA game- but as Habana admitted himself, he was taught a lesson, which he obviously took to heart. Right, so consider this- in a pretty low-scoring RWC, where defense rather than offence ruled the game, a player equalled the great Jonah Lomu`s single tourney record. Also, consider his record throughout the season, seeing as it`s the player of the year award, not just the player of the RWC. Scoring the ***le-winning try, deep in injury time, during the S14 final. Scoring 13 test tries in 8 test starts this year. Pretty amazing stats, especially in a year dominated by defense! [/QUOTE]
