I think the commentator said he is now the World Cup's leading try scorer.He almost got that fourth try in one match- which may also be some type of record.
With JP in great form and Mvovo solid- suddenly we have got lots of options on the wing.
We also have Kriel that can cover fullback, as well as Lambie.
The first half was a bit slow both otherwise a decent game as prep for the quarter finals.

HHabana is now level with Lomu on 15 RWC tries.

The significance of the 4th try would have been passing Lomu's WC record. Chester got 4 against Samoa in '95, so at best it would have equalled the SA record, while the WC record is 6 (Marc Ellis for NZ vs Japan in '95) .

Habana needs one more try to surpass Campese as second all time leading try scorer. Ohata is on 69 which is well out of sight. I lament the Dom Failure years; robbed both Bryan and JP.
Mvovo though, not much of a factor against strong opposition. Pretty average.

Mvovu did nothing special. Dom Failure 3 years? Jean or Peter? At least Peter didn't lose against Wales, Argie or Japan!

Yeah ... I guess that even the trys against the Grade 2's count.
In the end all we look at is how many were scored ... not at who they were scored against.

CC, at least Habana has scored some good tries against NZ, Oz and the rest of the best. Lomu never scored against the Boks. One small step for Bok-kind.

What a wonderful life it must be to delight in your teams yet lament them simultaneously.
Habana has scored plenty against New Zealand and Australia. Even in general play, where he didn't score, he was a menace. How many players have you seen burst through 11 All Blacks? To attempt to diminish Habana's achievements is disgraceful.
