Habana is in the German capital for the Laureus Sports Awards, which take place on Monday evening. There are two South African nominees: the Springboks for the Team of the Year and swimmer Natalie du Toit for Best Sporting Moment of the last 20 years. The former Bok wing joins an illustrious list of Laureus Academy members as a rather youthful 36, but his record speaks for itself – 67 tries in 124 Tests, which is the second-most in history, a joint World Cup record-holder with 15 tries alongside Jonah Lomu, and a number of titles for the Boks, Bulls and Toulon in France.

He has also been a Laureus ambassador since 2009, and has now graduated to sit alongside 68 other sports stars such as Steve Waugh, Sean Fitzpatrick, Michael Johnson, Nadia Comaneci, Martina Navratilova, Cathy Freeman and Sachin Tendulkar. There are also three other South African Academy members – Gary Player, Morné du Plessis and Mike Horn.
