Dave’s Pick #9: Bryan Habana

I’m really pleased with the way my back three have taken shape. And there are a couple of options in the number 11 role - Shane Williams of Wales and All Black, Smokin Joe! But Habana is an easy choice for me. There are few players that can win a Test match in an instance…Habana is one of those rare talents. Not perfect, but probably the world’s best game-breaker!

    The chip and charge king is also far from being the best defender in the world - his try record doesn’t come near that of Sivivatu or Rocokoko. But being South African on a South African rugby forum, will probaby get him the vote, despite the deficiancies in his game.

    His defending has improved tremendously over this years super 14 KingArmscore. He’s not always trying to go for intercepts anymore and when he seems to have developed a MASSIVE boot too.

    Yes Davo! In the bag buddy

    Habana was nominated for the IRB Player of the Year award…he’s good!

    Yeah and he’s now one of the most powerful tacklers in the game… his lines may not always be perfect but he enforces turnovers with his tackling!

    dave, no offence bud… but your backs are going to be irrelevant after your forwards get raped by rosslee’s!

    woodcock, mealamu, hayman, bakkies, collins, schalk… mccaw’s going to be fighting a losing battle as a one man band!
