Bryan Habana four tries vs Samoa

he just needs a good old GRASS CUTTER XD LMAO

Speed kills.

"I heard the All Blacks referred to as Flat Track Bullies yesterday..." at the end of the clip...You'd think after 4 years they'd think of a new cliche or two?

Very studly. I still prefer Howlett, but still, very fast.

have you heard the word?fishboy asked me out on a date!!!

If only Habana knew how to pass

If only Habana knew how to pass? I can see you haven't watched any of his other matches and know you want to say somethig stupid, if you've wtched only 2 or 3 of his games please dont leave stupid comments.

have you seen in this RWC any team singing own hymn as so entusiast as portugal?please put the video here...thanks RF

Yes, the pumas....

"If only Habana knew how to pass? I can see you haven't watched any of his other matches and know you want to say somethig stupid, if you've wtched only 2 or 3 of his games please dont leave stupid comments."Feel free to link a clip where a Habana pass has led to a try, m8

on today's newspaper, Josh Lewsey was quoted saying that if you give Habana space, he will run rings around you.He's not exaggerating.

He's the best finisher around at the moment - awesome speed. If anyone's going to come up with a 'Lomu moment' this WC it'll be him.

I normally try to stay out of these discussions, but dude, firstly Habana is a wing so there isn't a huge amount of passing that goes on - he is a finisher. Secondly, he actually played number 9 throughout his school career so he knows a thing or two about passing. Also, at under 21 level he played centre, and he actually prefers the centre position. It would be his ideal position.

I see your point, but compare his work on the field these days with say, Howlett, Rokococo, heck - even Tuqiri. These guys have astounding workrates around the field - they don't just sit on the end of the backline and wait. I don't doubt that Habana is a great player and a very good finisher, but he lacks a dimension about his game that other international wingers have these days. With Habana, it's very much "Here's the ball - run Forrest, run"

Personally I just get annoyed with all the criticism he gets about being one dimensional, which normally comes from people who haven't seen him play much. Watching the odd test match doesn't give you the same view as watching him play in the Currie Cup and Super 14 week after week. I think the fact that he doesn't have a devastating sidestep throws peoples opinions. I also find it interesting that all the bad comments about him come at a time when he's at the height of his game and so highly rated by the media, the same way that people had a go at Jonah for not being the best defender. It sure makes for interesting debate though. Maybe stats need to speak for themselves in the long run.

he'll be top scorer by the end of this world cup - FACT

Lots of people seem to criticize Habana for being one dimensional- to an extent this was true very early on in his career. He used to be a "give the ball and run as fast as you can in a straight line player". Its something he's worked on, and I think the first try especially shows how he's worked on a sidestep and swerve and other parts of his game. He may not be in the legendary category in terms of incredible skills yet, but he is still one of the best wingers I've seen for a while.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_m_LWDeCbcHow one dimentional is the bloke?Check the brilliant pass he gives 1:25 sec into the cliphttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_vNkowaqo4Check out the angle he runs, and the offload.... 1:12 sec into the clip.if you want more evidence, ask, I'll gladly chuck some more at you.

Anonymous at September 14, 2007 11:54 AM: he may well be top TRY scorer by the end of the tournament but top scorer is bound to be either Dan Carter or Percy Montgomery.Also, in my opinion, the fact that he is so head & shoulders above any of his teammates in try scoring ability is something the Bokke need to worry about. If he's not on form, injured or the opposition simply shut him down then you have to have an alternative. I'm not sure they have that backline depth or flair (barring Steyn's freakish foot...).

a little pedantic there^^

Ha Habana played scrumhalf when he was in high school and notice how he goes to scrumhalf when the No 9 is down?

FishboyTop try scorer in the 2007 spr 14 tournament : JP Pietersen.Between them, the boks are gonna rock!!!

The only one dimensional thing around here is the idiot commenting on Habana being one dimensional.Anyone who has seen him playing regularly in the last 2 years will admit the man is a rugby genius.Look for him as the top tryscorer in RWC07.After the WC he will be acknowledged as the greatest wing in rugby history!

Anonymous at September 14, 2007 5:02 PM: I stand corrected! Pieterson was brilliant last night. Although, to be fair, the vision of du Preez made it so easy for him to shine. And England made it pretty easy too, they were awful.

Doesn't take much to get you guys excited eh? Good debate though.

i no they dont play in the same position n stuff but whos better Bryan Habana or jason Robinson i cant decide

if u look @ players on the hole habana is the betterhes quicker tackles harder has a fair ol boot on him and hes a clinical finisherrobinson has proved he can tackle but in terms of players who you would want covering at the back you would have to choose habana over robinson

r8the blowk that said hes 1 dimensional and the blowk that said hes got no work rate obviously dont watch his rugby games, or play it them selfs.man that guy gets the ball on his own 22 and covers 80yards 2 score. so thts 1 dimension yehes also 1 of the biggest hitters in the world and in the super 14s. hel throw his neck out on the line to hit any1. u try tellin any1 that that is not workin hard 4 the cause. seriously man, play rugby. Then ul realise how hard he works out on the wing. and im ENGLISH! so its hardly biased

sorry but I would rather have Robbo in his prime than Habana now, his stepping and ability to create something out of nothing were amazing.That said I wouldn't be dissapointed to see either of them in my team to be honest, both brilliant. Habana is easily the best winger at the moment

i agree that Habana has to be the most effective, by which i mean try scoring winger out there. but my heart still goes out players like Shane Williams, Robinson etc. guys of that size are a dying breed in this game. Habana's blinding pace is, to his credit, all he needs to finish tries set up by his excellent team mates. where as the other guys i mentioned are so fantastic to watch and can create something from nothing at all.

i like how you guys compare habana 2 the all blacks wings..habana is way better and everyone knows it..just look at all his tries and dont go on what you think because you didnt win the world cup...South africa did so they know more than you about rugby

i would rather have shane williams than habana, because of shanes amazing footwork and he is at least equal if not better than habana at finishing. Habana is probably quicker but shane is fast enough to be able to out run people in a straight line and also posses a phenomenal side step. Depends if your counting defensive ability i guess. as an attacking winger i would probably have shane due to his skills and the form he is on at the moment but habana is the next best winger around

one dimensional. Needs to learn more than just running or once his pace goes, so will his starting spot.
