Springbok legend and 2007 Rugby World Cup winner Bryan Habana has ranked his five toughest opponents from his incredible rugby career.
Sourcing several Q&A’s from down the years, including one with Canterbury NZ, here is his top five:
5. Joe Rokocoko (New Zealand)
The Fijian-born wing boasts a remarkable strike rate, having scored 46 tries in 68 Tests. When you’ve got speed and strength, you’ve always got a chance and he had both in bucketloads.
Habana said: “He could make something happen out of nothing and was always a threat on attack. His handling skills were just sublime as well.”
DID YOU KNOW? He is a cousin of former Auckland Blues and All Black winger Joeli Vidiri and New Zealand sevens player Iliesa Tanivula
