Springbok wing Bryan Habana will be flying into Cape Town on Monday to meet Western Province senior professional coach Rassie Erasmus about a possible move to WP.
Habana’s father and agent Bernie told the Cape Times on Sunday night that his son would be meeting Erasmus and he would be seeing WP Rugby managing director Rob Wagner on Monday. Habana’s contract with the Blue Bulls ends on October 31 this year and he has yet to decide where he will play his rugby next year. “We have not received an offer from Western Province,” Bernie Habana said. “We are flying to Cape Town tomorrow morning. Bryan will be meeting Rassie and I will meet Rob Wagner.
“We have never offered Bryan’s services to anyone. Rassie phoned me a while back enquiring about Bryan, and this is how tomorrow’s meeting came about. Bryan didn’t even know about Western Province’s interest until today, when I told him we are going to Cape Town. He in fact asked me ‘What for?’ and I told him. So we will see what happens at the meeting tomorrow.”
Bernie Habana said that Bryan met with the Bulls on Sunday. “We met with the Blue Bulls yesterday and had a deep discussion about Bryan’s situation. We have given our price and it is now up to them to make Bryan an offer,” he said.
“The first prize would be for Bryan to stay in South Africa and that is what everyone wants. But he has to make up his mind on what he wants to do.”
Bernie said that his son enjoys coming to Cape Town. “Bryan loves the Cape. He has lots of friends there and has been there on holiday, but it is different when you have to live in a place,” he said. “He also doesn’t want to rush into any decision. He wants to go through all offers before deciding where he wants to play. “That is a good way of doing things. We have also told Bulls coach Frans Ludeke that we are going to Cape Town, so there are no secrets.”
At the moment, WP only have Tonderai Chavhanga and Sireli Naqelevuki as specialist wings.

@bdb – 😆 presaclty
@isigidi – The Cheetahs have only won two games so far this season, both against minnows, so I don’t think that they are on the up yet. A win over a great team like the WP will certainly help them reclaim the CC.
91 @Tripples – Ek dink al die WP fans op hierdie blog sal ook vir ons sê dat Habana nie vir Knockaliviku uit hul span sal kan lig nie … Habana sal dus op die bank moet sit die hele seisoen.
@bdb – Hahahahahaha nee wat Trppels, sommer net my intree line. Laat Suppa so bietjie op sy stoel rondskuif. Hie’s ons almal se pal.
bdb daar’s mos nou nie ‘n manier dat habs by WP gaan teken nie. I mean, what for? Seker niks anders om oor te skryf in die koerante.
Anyway, as hy sien watse kuk weer ons vandag innie Kaap het, vat hy die eerste Mango vlug terug Lanseria toe.
@Loosehead – They will not be CC contenders, but the Cheaters are unpredictable. As if Cheaters and Kwas teams are in reverse rolls this here. Cheaters gaat nog kaarte deurmekaar krap somewhere in the future.
94@isigidi – Flok, moenetnie julle kak weer, weer hierdie kant toe laat kom nie… dis lekker sonnig hier en ek sit met ‘n kortmouhemp aan !
@Loosehead – 🙂 goeie een !
Daai Bernie Habana, Brian se pappie, is ‘n moeilikheidmaker jong… dis mos hy wat die Bakkies-Insident ook veroorsaak het daai tyd….
@grootblousmile – GBS ek entertain nie eers die gedagte dat Habs Kaap toe sal kom nie. Sensasionele beriggewing op sy beste.
Dink hy en pappie het kom bond hier by Ratanga Junction en die cobra kom ry.

@grootblousmile – You cant trust agents and lawyers.
99@isigidi – Wel, waar daar ‘n rokie is, het iemand iewers seker ‘n Camel opgesteek
101@Loosehead – Ver-steek-seker nie….
@Loosehead – And computer programmers! hiehiehie
@grootblousmile – Habs het kom lipice koop by die surf shops, dis al. O, en ek dink hy gaan bietjie rondloop daar in die doelgebiede op Nuweland. Dis al manier hoe hy daar gaan kom hierdie seisoen. 🙂
104@isigidi – Oi…. and Computer Programmers who used to practice Law??
105@isigidi – Mmmmm, moenie so seker weesie…
A bear, a lion and a pig meet.
Bear says: “if I roar in the forest, the entire forest is shivering with fear.”
Lion says: “if I roar in the jungle, the entire jungle is afraid of me.”
Pig says: “big deal…. I only have a flu, and the entire planet shits itself.”
I’ve put a new poll on the Home Page, about the Habana Issue
@grootblousmile – After looking at the results it is obvious to me that WP supporters are banned from joining Rugby Talk.
110@Loosehead – Hehehehe
Nooooooo man, it’s just that you guys are happy with Makwilleaaptwakkie…. why I don’t know !!
Middag manne.
Goeie naweek se rugby, en lekker om ‘n Shark supporter wees. Ons behoort volgende naweek vir kwas in Durban te klop, dan sit ons top of the log na die helfte van die kompetisie.
Die lekker ding van die tweede helfte is dat ons dan 4 tuis en net 3 weg wedstryde het. Boland, kwas en Bulle weg. Die bulle sal taai wees, maar die res behoort nie ‘n probleem te wees nie.
So my early prediction is ‘n tuis semi en final vir die Sharks. Die vraag is nou net wie ons gaan speel in die final.
Ek dog ek sê maar net. 😎
Kanko het darem ‘n oog vir die gap. Wonder of Spies daai drie sou kon druk. 😉
Het die Sharks al vir Minnie gebel? Hoop so.
Wat Habana betref, hy sal nie WP toe gaan nie. So die bulle moet nie worrie nie.
112 – 115@Die Vis (Snoek) – Hellooooooo
Hehehe
Daai Minnie is flippen goed jong, hoopie hy is net ‘n flash-in-the-pan nie.
Jy moenie te oorgerus weesie, die Tjarks het bittermin balbesit en territory in die game teen die Lions gehad… en was donners gelukkig om te wen…. as die Lions se laaste hantering net effe beter was het julle innie kak gepomp !
@grootblousmile – Jy is so reg. Die Sharks was nie in die game nie. Hulle het 2 geleenthede gehad en altwee gebruik
Ek is nou oortuig die Leeus gaan 6de eindig in die jaar se Currie Beker.
Hello kollega, Ed
En die Leeus wat die heeltyd aangeval het, het vir die eerste keer ‘n strafskop in die 22 van die Sharks gekry in die 61ste minuut???
