Habana equals Lomu's record
Habana grabbed his tries in the second-half and could have beaten Lomu's record but, with 13 minutes left, botched what would have been his fourth try with a knock-on.
"Fluffing an opportunity to score a try at any time is never ideal, but equalling Jonah Lomu's record is a truly humbling fact.
"The way he changed the game, the way he gave rugby back something that no-one ever thought was possible and the way he became a global superstar, the first real global superstar that the game as ever seen, is for me a massive privilege and I'm honoured to be able to call him a legend."
"I am so proud of Bryan, as a player and human. He is a great ambassador for South Africa, has peaked at the right time and we need him," Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer said.
Springbok captain Fourie du Preez, who was in the side when Habana made his Test debut in 2004, said the flyer's eye for the try-line had been apparent right from the start of his international career.
"Since Bryan's first appearance, he has been an unbelievable finisher. He is always in the right place at the right time," the scrumhalf said.
