South Africa's Habana levels Lomu record

NULL

South Africa winger Bryan Habana needs one more try to become the leading try scorer in Rugby World Cup history. Habana is level with New Zealand legend Jonah Lomu on 15 tries, after he scored a hat-trick last night as the Springboks thrashed the USA 64-0 at the Olympic Stadium. South Africa’s campaign got off to a bad start following a shock defeat to Japan, but last night’s bonus point win means they top group B ahead of Scotland.
