WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Many may feel that Bryan Gary Habana is not a legend yet, at least not a Blue Bulls one.
Habana has hardly featured in the light blue jersey at Currie Cup level but is known the world over for his blistering pace and his knack of making try-scoring look so easy in the Bulls’ Super 14 campaigns, and more notably in the green and gold of the Springboks.
In fact, so young is Habana hat bestowing him with legendary status at the age of 24 would seem premature. But the record book states otherwise.
Habana has won almost every competition there is to win in world rugby with the exception of one, the Currie Cup.
The reason why Habana left the Lions in 2004 to join the Bulls as a 21-year-old was to win the most coveted trophy in South African rugby.
Unfortunately for Habana, national duty prevented him for doing that. The only Currie Cup final he featured in was the surprise loss to the Free State Cheetahs at Loftus in 2005.
In 2006 when the Bulls shared the spoils with the Cheetahs, Habana had to watch from the sidelines along with his fellow Springbok team-mates who had been given resting time by then Springbok coach Jake White.
Habana will go down in Bulls folklore as the young man who scored arguably the most important try in the history of the Bulls when he carved through the Sharks’ defence to score the winning try at the death in the Super 14 final last year.
Furthermore, Habana is probably the most feared player in world rugby and has the Loftus faithful on their feet every time he touches the ball.
Habana was one of the stars of the 2007 Rugby World Cup with his eight tries in the tournament equalling the record set by Jonah Lomu in 1999 and was also named the 2007 IRB Player of the Year.
Habana made his first senior international appearances as a member of the South African Sevens side in the 2003-04 World Sevens Series.
He made his Currie Cup debut for the Lions in 2004, doing well enough to be voted the country’s most promising player.
In November of 2004 Habana made his Test debut against England at Twickenham in a game the Springboks lost 32-16 but coming on as a reserve Habana scored with his first touch.
The following week Habana was moved into the starting line-up and scored two tries in the Springboks 45-10 victory over Scotland at Murrayfield.
Habana made his Tri-Nations debut on July 30, 2005 against the Wallabies at Loftus Versfeld and later finished the tournament as joint highest try-scorer with New Zealands’ Doug Howlett and Joe Rokocoko.
In the same year he was named to the five-man shortlist for IRB World Player of the Year, and was also selected by SA Rugby as SA Player of the Year.
It is just a matter of time before this mercurial player bags his only missing award, the Currie Cup.
