[QUOTE="darwin_23, post: 137424"] I'd have to disagree entirely - not about Brian Habana but about the fact the Springboks have a lot of quality in the wing department. They have one exceptional wing while the rest are very average: JP Pieterson - Quite talented but still makes lots of mistakes - probably their second best winger. Ndungane - Slow, offers nothing in attack, but a solid defender. Willimse - Was good about 3 years ago but has played almost no rugby for about 2 years. Steyn - Can kick the ball very well. Cracked under pressure versus All Blacks. Outside squad: Paulse - Good on his feet, but has lost some pace. Spends his whole time in defense standing offside in oppositions backline looking for intercepts (his main form of attack). Good at doing flips to celebrate scoring tries... Chavanga - Fast but small, and always injured. Overall the South African wings, apart from Habana are probably the weakest part of the South African team. While Willimse (and Ndungane) are both very average wings I don't believe Paulse would offer any more to the team than them (apart from flips). [/QUOTE]
