Why they are here

124 caps, a World Cup in 2007, and sixty-four Test tries — level with Jonah Lomu's fifteen at World Cups, and among the most any wing has scored.

Bryan Habana is widely rated among the greatest players in the history of rugby union, winning 124 caps on the wing for South Africa.

He was part of the side that won the 2007 Rugby World Cup, where his eight tries equalled Jonah Lomu's record for a single tournament; at the 2015 World Cup he matched Lomu's career tally of fifteen. He finished with sixty-four Test tries.
