Who made the most memorable first impression for the Springboks? You decide in the first instalment of this series as Bryan Habana races Herschel Jantjies.
A Bok centurion and 2007 World Cup winner who scored a record 67 tries for the Springbok, Habana achieved legendary status as one of the greatest wingers of all time.

A player who South Africa could always rely on, the speedster made an immediate impact on the international scene when he scored a try with his first touch of the ball in a Bok jersey as a replacement against England at Twickenham in 2004.
Following a midfield break from flyhalf Jaco van der Westhuyzen, Habana received the ball on the wing, shrugged off a defender and went in under the posts for the first Test try of many.
Herschel Jantjies became a World Cup winner in 2019 and has 23 Test caps at the age of 26.
The Stormers scrumhalf got his Bok career off to a flyer when he scored the opening try against Australia at Ellis Park in the first round of the 2019 Rugby Championship.
With Sbu Nkosi streaking down the touchline, Jantjies covered plenty of ground to fly wingman for the Bok finisher, collecting an inside pass to score his first Test try.

Thirteen minutes later, Jantjies was influential in the build up to Lood de Jager’s try, before the opportunistic No 9 capped off his dream debut with a second try in the match.
Catching the Wallaby defenders off-guard, the halfback sneaked around the back of a ruck to dot down in the corner.
