Bryan Habana is a retired South African rugby icon celebrated for his electrifying speed and record-breaking try-scoring. A true legend of the game, he played 124 tests for the Springboks, crossing the try line 67 times — the most by any player from a Tier 1 nation.

A cornerstone of South Africa’s 2007 Rugby World Cup triumph, Habana’s eight tries in the tournament tied Jonah Lomu’s record for the most in a single World Cup. That same year, he was named the IRB World Player of the Year, cementing his place among rugby’s greats. His illustrious club career included championship victories with the Bulls, Toulon, and Western Province.

Since retiring from professional rugby, Habana has seamlessly transitioned into business, philanthropy, and leadership. He is the co-founder of the financial wellness platform Paymenow, serves as a global ambassador for the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, and is a sought-after corporate speaker, drawing on his experiences of teamwork, resilience, and excellence.

Recognized globally for his impact both on and off the field, Habana was inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame in 2023 — a fitting tribute to a career defined by passion, perseverance, and purpose.
