PLAYER WRITE-UP
Bryan Habana, three time South African Rugby Player of the Year, is one of the most experienced current Springboks and thanks to a superb haul of seven tries during The Castle Rugby Championship in 2012, he has extended his record for the most career tries by a Springbok to 47 (at the end of 2012). Habana is also the South African who has scored the most tries in Vodacom Super Rugby. The Bok flyer passed the great Joost van der Westhuizen’s long-standing record of 38 Test tries for South Africa at the Rugby World Cup in 2011 and after a slight slump in form, he was back to his best for the Stormers and the Springboks in 2012. Bryan was the IRB's World Rugby Player of the Year in 2007.
