Bryan Habana's retirement is a stark reminder, I'd say, of the shrinking stock of active, genuine Springbok legends these days.

Take a bow @bryanhabana_ you definitely are a true inspiration and legend of the game. I had the privilege of sharing the field with you on my very first springbok cap. Thank you for taking me under your wing and always leading by example.
