Biography

Bryan Habana was one of the greatest wings in rugby history and South Africa’s record try-scorer. Born in Benoni on 12 June 1983 and educated at King Edward VII School, he played for the Lions, the Bulls, Western Province and Toulon and won 124 caps between 2004 and 2016.

He scored 67 Test tries, scoring with his first touch on debut against England in 2004. At the 2007 World Cup he scored eight tries, equalling the tournament record, and was named World Rugby Player of the Year. He was famous for his speed and once raced a cheetah for a charity event.
