His dive is also very photogenic. If Habana scored the most beautiful tries, the ugliest finisher has to be Mapimpi… the one glides, the other trips over the try line.

Most overrated winger in Bok history.For those who mentions his try scoring record,Doug Howlett is the AB's top try scorer.Doug who? Exactly.Habana is basically the Bok Howlett.Well,no , Habana was actually better.Outstanding quality?His ability to go 100%,from the word go,every time.I don't think he's in the Springboks top 5.

Take a shot every time the commentators go " OHHHHH HABANA!" youll be slaughtered after 5 minutes. He always appeared out of nowhere and literally changed the game. Best winger of all time? I think he has a strong case.
