South Africa legend Bryan Habana has revealed the five toughest opponents he faced, including two Wales stars in his selection.
1. Shane Williams
“Shane was a fantastic player who has given rugby some very exciting moments and was always a good measuring stick when I came up against him.
“He was a bit pumped up on the field in South Africa, but he is the perfect gentleman off the park. I I have looked at some tapes of his playing for the Ospreys and he is just great to watch.”
2. Doug Howlett
"He was the complete package, brilliant on attack and rock solid on defence,”
3. Joe Rokocoko
Joe Rokocoko could make something happen out of nothing and was always a threat on attack.
“His handling skills were just sublime as well."
4. George North
“Scoring two tries on debut against South Africa as an 18-year-old showed he was going to be a force to be reckoned with and he hasn’t fail to deliver.”
5. Julian Savea
"Savea’s power, pace and brute strength made him the modern-day Jonah Lomu."
