    @Transformation(Transformation)-44: Was just the run of the mill filth you’d expect from any chav in the UK. With a racist twist added for extra flavour.

    Every time I watch one of these KeoTVs I realise what a sleazy guy Keo is. Every piece of “insight” he gives is like a second hand car complete with latent defects. Not a lot of integrity in his journalism I don’t think.. Quite gimmicky.

    As for Monty… I think he’s quite right about his work rate and defensive efforts. But how can you stand there wth a straight face and tell us he’s scoring tries??? That’s not a matter of opinion… It simply isn’t true!

    What a load of rubbish! I’ve lost all respect for Percy after this video, he cannot honestly believe Habana is the best wing in the country…people have seriously got to stop holding onto the past and look at the future, Habana just isnt what he used to be end of story. Percy enjoy the braai at your pal Bryan’s place tonight!

    You’re probably the same guy that lost respect for Percy when he left RSA to become a points phenomenon in the NH and then came back to be a world beater… let’s just say your point of view is worth what we’ve paid for it!

    Habs is scoring a try a week in a team devoid of any semblance of backline nouse… Monty is spot-on!

    @bryce_in_oz(bryce_in_oz)-57: A try a week? He’s scored 2. In 4 weeks. And last season he didn’t exactly cook either.

    @bryce_in_oz(bryce_in_oz)-56: how can I be that same guy if I just said “I’ve lost all respect for Percy after this video” note the words ‘after this video’?? And as @Tarlo points out he’s scored 2 tries in 4 weeks, so before you give your point of view its probably best to get your facts straight first.

    @bryce_in_oz(bryce_in_oz)-60: Like that means anything? Aside from the fact that you said he’s scoring a try a week, NOT that he’s scoring better than anyone else in the team, it doesn’t change the fact that he has scored only 2 tries. The next highest in the team is…. wait for it… 1! In fact thats the next highest in the entire tournament. 5 outside backs have scored 3 tries and 1 has scored 4 (Basson). Sona Taumololo has scored tries. Is he a better winger than Habana? Quit blowing smoke up his *** and get real.

    For the record boys Habana was timed quickest over 40 in Stormers set up this season … he hasn’t lost his pace, he lost being the beneficiary of the creative Bulls when he moved to Cape Town

    why the obsession with age in this country … players turn 26 or 27 and the common thread is to want to retire them.

    It is like all those who didn’t want Frans Steyn involved in WC and then when he got injured at WC they were devastated cos we lost our most dangerous back.

    Class is permanent … if Habana was playing for Bulls he’d be scoring 2 or 3 a week.

    @keo(keo)-66: You cannot deny that he has been awful for the Boks over the last 2 years, simply terrible. A fair showing at S15 level this early into the season surely cannot absolve him of the last two shocking seasons for the Boks.

    Last year when the Stormers played the Reds I actually started to feel sorry for Habana, because it was clear as day that the Reds were targeting him down on his wing. They simply knew he was a liability and exploited this fact. As fickle as we are with age apparently, certain supporters are stubborn in equal measure and refuse to let go of old heroes when they stop performing.

    @fantasticbarnsmell(fantasticbarnsmell)-71: habana arrogantly demanded a huge sum for his services but toulon told him he ain’t worth that much ,then he took a pay cut to stay at the stormers, now he is the best.

    keo announce it already, has habana signed with hsm like luke?

    it is always incredible how those who have achieved so much get so much flak but those who don’t always get the benefit of the doubt. It is the same across all codes, most notably with Kallis in cricket. Cronje is still put on a pedestal and Kallis is still questioned. Crazy.

    I don’t dispute Habana had an awful 2011 and he looked tired and jaded. I do think he has bounced back this season and when judging any winger the team he plays for needs to be taken into account.

    And style of play etc … it is like any outside back who plays for Munster … great team but not the place you go to relish in getting the ball if you are an outside back

    Habana was terrible in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Right now he is closer to number 10 in the country rather than 1.

    Though of course it is good to see an improvement in his play recently and if he keeps on improving, then he may be able to become the best once again.

    I would not say that I am hard on Habana, just very disappointed that he still kept his Bok place when he very clearly didn’t deserve it in the last few years, previous record breaking excluded.

    Ridiculous nonsense. Habanna has two lucky bounces for tries and now suddenly he’s back? He still doesn’t pose any kind of threat with ball in hand, not the way Mvovo or Basson do. Are we really ok with having a journeyman wing while countries like Wales play two exciting attacking youngsters. We also have those players, we’re just not giving them a shot.

    PS: Am I the only one that thinks the videos are incredibly poorly edited. You don’t have to change the zoom / angle every 3 seconds. IT’S F*CKING ANNOYING!

Unless you’re actually aiming for that amateurish touch – then why not hold the camera on an angle and perhaps get the mic on camera once in a while

    At last I get a chance to see the clip and I have to say Percy you show great promise.
    It will get easier, have a chat to Gary Lineker from the BBC, with coaching he turned from a sportsman who commentated into a consumate presenter.

    Look forward to the forthcoming interviews Keo promised.

    All the best.

    Habana has never once not been our best wing since November 2004, that much is fact. Nobody has been willing to point to the fact that NONE of our wings over the past four years have been succeeding. It’s too fashionable to bash Habana though. This is because of the rank idiocy of the Saffer fans. Your centres create the space for your wings, our centres at the Boks and that of WP are utterly pathetic at doing this. The real problem is still not being identified. Habana does things that no other wing in SA can do. Does one not recall how he ripped through 8 All Blacks in 2010? What have all the other pretenders done? Mvovo? Basson? Nokwe? Chavangha? Aplon? Not much. Had Habana been an Aussie or a Kiwi he would have notched up 60 odd tries easily. His workload and all round game is phenomenal. But as is the way with South Africa, the best players get lambasted and the chaff praised to the heavens. *yawn*

    habana lacks the basics of a great wing imo.

    he has no step or even a swerve.

    he is also top heavy and goes down very easily in the tackle.

    that said, habs is the consumate pro and deserves respect, just not as wide eyed as this piece has it imo.

    @keo(keo)-66:
    Aha!! You should tell Tac that.

    According to him the Bulls let Habana go TTHREE years ago because Shadow was the quickest player over 60m in the Bulls squad.

    Now you’re telling us that Habana is quicker than Shadow THREE years later over 60m.

    Something don’t add up.

    @rangerman(rangerman)-85:
    You’re probably talking about the last three years of his career.

    In the 1st two yrears of his international career all he had was speed and the intercept. The he displayed the kick-and-chase. After that he showed everybody that he also ha a swerver and he was criticised for not having a side-step. In one particular match, against Aus, he side stepped to score a try and everybody said that he was the complete wing.

    Now, at the sunset of his career you want to claim that he doesn’t have any of these skills?

    Bullcrap man.

    Habana still has a good three years left in him.

    AfA the article goes, I said after the 1st one that Keo is either looking for a book deal or he is using Percy to get Habana on his book.

    “tell that to those crazy people who gives me awards every year and every publication globally that pays me very well to write for them.”

    So Mark, tell us about the global publications that ask you to write for them.

    We all know that the best rugby writers in SA are Afrikaans. The fact that you are one of a handful english speaking SA rugby writers, and as such gets the chance to write for “global publications” does not mean squat, imo.

    You tainted your name when you became embedded with JW after he “saved” your life during the RWC in 2007 in France. That until he took you to court and then you use this forum to bitchfight with him after he ditched you. That did not do your image any good either.

    You were also very critical of Luke after his puke remark until he signed with your company.

    Give me a reason why I should not view your positive articles about Habana in the same light!!!

    Can I take this opportunity to ask people to please not judge me because you don’t even know me and when you get to know me you may find that you like me.

    So a few days ago I admitted my softer side and I understand my request for a kiss or two was shot down but just give it some time…

    Today I admitted my preference for animals, now I know people may be shocked by it but again I think over time you will accept me. Just remember to lock up your animals when I visit, I sometimes can’t control my urges. I mean, after all a Yappie is a few rungs below any animal, is it not?
