I'm alive and well - Bryan Habana refutes false report of death

South Africa wing Bryan Habana

South Africa wing Bryan Habana has been forced to refute reports he was killed in France.

Habana, who plays for Toulon in the Top 14, posted a short video on Twitter to confirm he is alive and well following a false report that he had been killed in a drive-by shooting in Paris.

The Springbok star and World Cup winner is in fact on holiday in the south of France and said in his video: “Apparently there has been, or is, a massive rumour or false story going around that I have been killed.

“As you can see I’m all alive and doing well and enjoying the south of France.

“Unbelievably disturbing that people can do stuff out there that has a massive impact on people’s lives, and stuff like this is actually just unbelievable.”

Stormers blow past Ronan O'Gara-less La Rochelle in Champions Cup

Could easily have been 50+ points difference.

Stormers ticking along nicely, have their defense sorted so they can fully concentrate on scoring absolute BS tries from nowhere.

The three unsung heroes of the 2025 Wallabies

Totally agree, I think Pietsch has been so good in his few moments and he has a point of difference. Nonggorr may have to bide his time but it all depends on Tupou’s selection and AAA’s form.

I want to see him kick on in 2026! And it all starts from scrummaging! Him and De Lutiis could be a great one two punch.

Sevu’s younger team mates Macca Springer, ( who already has a few) and Chay Fihaki if they stick around could rack up a few. They get a lot for there respective provinces Tasman and Canterbury. Chay is a weapon for the Crusaders too.

Yes, apologies to Fintan Gunne. Promising player. Harry Byrne was just okay vs. Leicester, but still in with a shout.

100% - wonder if Dan Kelly will be in the mix. Gavin and Postlethwaite both with potential. Bring em in for a decent 6 Nations look, even if it’s just as development players.

Thank you. It saddens me that a great game is being debased in this way.

I actually think the issue with Marcus is that it’s a skill overplayed (becoming a weakness).

He had an extra yard of space with Andre outside him but he’s then trying to force the running game and teams are waiting for it, which is why he keeps being flattened and then he’s left chicken-arming the ball under his arm.

Thanks, I’ve been ignorant of Nonngorr. I’ll follow his progress. Like Englands Baxter, he’s had good coaches early.

The Reds are building.

I have just realised I replied to the wrong post. This should make more sense. 🤣🤣🤣

I think he had deeper ties to Quins (which is to be commended) but I also think he stretched that marquee contract as far as he could. Quins need to find the right coach to shape that team in the style the fans enjoy, which is why I am surprised they didn’t make a bigger play to get either Stuart Lancaster or Lee Blackett. They would both have been a good fit for Quins.

1) what are you talking about?

2) Stuart Lancaster isn’t heavy enough to be a top level coach.

Not a bad result considering they were playing against Ireland + 1 All Black.

NB - If you were Lee Blackett, what would you be thinking about doing differently with the attack? Where do you think the improvement from this ENG team is possible?
