Bryan Habana Singles Out 'England legend' As His Toughest Opponent

Sourcing several Q&A’s from down the years, including one with Canterbury NZ, here is his top five:

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

One of the most lethal finishers in the game's history, Williams enjoyed a breakthrough Rugby World Cup in 2003, starring against New Zealand and England, and picked up where he left off in 2007 with a stunning try over Fiji.

Habana said: "Shane is a fantastic player who has given rugby some very exciting moments and it was always a good measuring stick whenever you came up against him.

"If ever there was direct correlation to the phrase ‘dynamite comes in small packages’, Shane was definitively it.

"His fleet-footedness, pace and game changing ability made him one of the best and most exciting wings the game has ever seen."

DID YOU KNOW? Williams started his junior career as a scrum-half at Amman United he joined Neath as a second-choice scrum-half. However, it became apparent to Lyn Jones, Neath's then-coach, that Williams simply could not be left out of the side, and placed him on the right wing

A Goliath on the pitch and not someone you wanted to run into, Botha formed a formidable partnership with Victor Matfield as South Africa won the 2007 World Cup.

His lineout presence was intimidating enough before he'd even left the ground, while he wasn't half-bad at carrying either.

Habana said: "I was lucky to play with Bakkies for South Africa and in Toulon. However, before that he'd caught me a few times and it was like being hit by a bus. A player who carried his team on and off the field."

McCaw was, simply put, brilliant. A breakdown master, incredible athlete, inspirational leader and a man with a remarkable ability to talk referees onto his side, McCaw had everything.

Habana said: "I think Richie McCaw has changed the way rugby is played.”

Wilkinson scored 1,246 during his 97 caps for England and the Lions. His finest hour, of course, came in 2003, when he slotted the drop goal that won the World Cup.

The fact he landed it with his weaker right foot speaks volumes for his hours and hours of diligent practice. Bowed out on a high, earning two more trophies with Toulon.

Habana said: "It's always between him and Carter for most people, but to me Jonny is the measuring stick that all number 10s are compared too. I was very lucky to spend a few years playing with him."

DID YOU KNOW? Wilkinson's brother, Mark, was also a Newcastle player who made 16 appearances in the Premiership for the side between 2002 and 2005
