Bryan Habana, the 'darling' of Newlands?
It’s official, Bryan Habana has signed with WP, and will be departing from Pretoria, to the dismay of his many “true blue” fans country wide. This move comes after Habana flew into Cape Town last week to meet with Rassie Erasmus, to have a chat about how many “buffalo’s” WP where willing to offer him. After making what must be huge savings over the past few years by not making any substantial big money deals, WP were able to outbid the Blue Bulls to win the services of the Springbok flyer.
This latest big name move comes after the initial hype of fellow Springboks Jaque Fourie and Wynand Olivier being linked to deals with WP. Fourie is currently having problems being released from the GLRU, but is still adamant to join the Cape side, whilst Olivier opted to remain with the Blue Bulls.
I’ve been hearing whispers around Cape Town that more “big name players” can be expected to be linked to a possible move with WP. Apparently WP still have brothers, Bismark and Jannie Du Plessis on their shopping list for next season.
At the moment, these are just rumours, but last time I heard a rumor, there turned out to be quite a bit of substance in it. As with the last rumor, that panned out to be true, remember you heard it here at BlogspotRugby 1st.
My good mate and co-founder of BlogspotRugby, Adrian Myburgh did a quick mock-up of what Habana will look like in the Stormers strip come next year’s Super 14. Visit his site at www.adrianmyburgh.com.
What do you think of Habana’s move to the Stormers?
