But more important is the contribution I give the team, "he said." I score one or two more tries on Saturday. At the beginning of the tournament, we made clear that the individual aspects were not going to be more important than the Springboks. The Springboks are in front of everything, "he said. 
Their coach, Jake White, often can not resist the talents of Havana and praises his team before." Habana is great. But also appreciated the balls that the team plays for him to create opportunities ", agregó.De anyway, Bryan Habana receives credit of 15 South African veterans like Os du Randt only survivor of the consecration of 1995, or the fullback Percy Montgomery, by driving him and other young stock until the final. "When you have leaders like John Smit or Percy Montgomery, things are simpler," said Habana.
