Bryan Habana scoring his hat trick try (64th Test try, 15th RWC try) against USA at the Rugby World Cup 2015
Bryan Habana’s hat-trick against the USA in their Rugby World Cup clash in London on Wednesday saw him tie not 1, but 2 try scoring records.
Habana’s feat saw him not only join All Blacks legend Jonah Lomu atop the all-time World Cup try scoring charts – with 15 – but also moved him into a tie with former Wallaby David Campese for 2nd spot in the overall Test try list (64).
Habana now trails Japan’s Daisuke Ohata (69) by 5 tries in the all-time list.
But who did Habana score his very 1st Test try against? And his 50th?
Wonder no more!

Congratulations Bryan on equaling Jonah’s record.
I’m sure by Tournaments end, you will hold the record outright.
No one else is more deserving.
I’m also sure, one of the first to congratulate you, will be Jonah.
It will be a congratulations,
from one gentleman to another.
@ cane:
to another gentleman 
Come to think of it, Habana had better make sharp because he’s only got one RWC game left to do it in…
@ BrumbiesBoy:
I’ve just had a look at the “Most likely scenario” concerning the QF’s onwards.
And it looks like YOUR LOT,
have the easiest route to the final.
And this disturbs me greatly.
😡
QF #1 ……………SA vs Taffies……………..SA win, Welsh have too many injuries to key Players, and Boks are coming into form with young Players stepping up.
QF #2…………….NZ vs Froggies…………Toughest QF of them all, but I have to go with NZ. France NZ’s boggy Team…………..but not this time. Game will take its toll on NZ.
QF #3…………… Paddies vs Puma’s……Ireland by a whisker. Keeping the Northerners in the hunt.
QF #4…………….Oz vs Jocks……………..As much as I admire Scotland the Brave. YOUR LOT will prevail in the easiest game/win of the Quarters.
Now the Semi’s………………………………..By now everyone should have a Semillon on. (Or perhaps a Pinot)…….whatever.
SF #1 SA vs NZ…………….Almost too close to call. SA hitting good form and now Playing their best Team. NZ yet to peak. But we do. NZ win.
SF #2 Ireland vs YOUR LOT……………Oz in a canter. The Pool of Death has conditioned them well. Smart Coach. Outstanding backs.
Then there is The Final…………………………………….The best laid plans of Mice and Men, Skill, Tenacity, Belief, and most of all, LUCK, will bring these two Teams together:
YOUR LOT vs NZ or maybe SA.
The SA/NZ Semi will take a lot out of both Teams. And this could be the deciding factor. A stale and worn out NZ/SA will need to lift themselves one last time……………..
Can they?
In Summary, the above means (if my predictions pan out).
NZ’s route to the Final…………………………….France/SA……………………then Australia in the Final.
SA’s route to the Final…………………………….Wales/NZ……………………..Then OZ in the Final.
Australia’s route to the Final……………………Scotland/Ireland…………..Then the shit hits the fan.
