Take a bow @bryanhabana_ you definitely are a true inspiration and legend of the game. I had the privilege of sharing the field with you on my very first springbok cap. Thank you for taking me under your wing and always leading by example.
All the best on your next journey ???? pic.twitter.com/SSsVqV3CwT— Willie le roux (@wjjleroux) April 24, 2018

67 – Only @JRFURugby‘s Daisuke Ohata (69) has scored more international tries than @Springboks‘ @BryanHabana (67), whilst no one has scored more @rugbyworldcup tries than the South African (15, same as Jonah Lomu). Legend. pic.twitter.com/UwXgfJF5nQ
