Springbok legend Bryan Habana ranks his five toughest opponents

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

"He could make something happen out of nothing and was always a threat on attack. His handling skills were just sublime as well.”

"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."

"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."

"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."

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