BRYAN HABANA’S THREE second half tries were the major talking point from South Africa’s whopping 64-0 win against USA in the Olympic Stadium today.
His 13th, 14th and 15th World Cup scores moved him level with the great Jonah Lomu at the top of the tournament’s hit-list, and it also brought him to 64 test tries in total, five off the record of Japan’s Daisuke Ohata.
