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.

@grootblousmile – Klink my die mannetjie is baie goed. Ek kan nie wag om dit te sien nie.
@Ed_the_Lion – Januarie ?
241@Ed_the_Lion – Nee kyk, hy is befok goed…. dis verseker… het al werk vir Nike en Die Olimpiese Spele daai tyd in Athene gedoen en vir paar ander groot kliente werk gedoen…
@bdb – Yes please!!
Ek het nie ‘n probleem met hom wat betrokke is by die Bokke nie – ver weg van WP
@isigidi – Hmmmm, laat ‘n mens dink…
Halloooo
allo, allo, allo
Ai, okay dan, koebaai
*sug*
*snik*
@Loserer – soek jy n maatjie vir n praatjie?
Die ouens hardloop hier in en uit met ‘n spoed.
“Now you see me … now you don’t” !
Dink GBS en Ed moet daardie “user online” funksie maar afhaal, want as die WP oukies sien ek is hier … dan hardloop hulle ! 😉
Mooi, nou het ek die blog vir myself.
253@bdb – Hehehe
Sorry man, snaakse dag vandag hier by die kantoor…. ek werk so in rukke en stote…
@bdb – Nee man ek hang hier rond ek probeer catch up , wat hier gesels was vandag.
@bdb – En wat gaan jy met hom maak?
😆
@superBul – ‘n maatjie en ‘n praatjie…
Nou gaan ek ook eet, sien later.
Ek gaan so teen 7 uur lekker try gesels nou n klomp ander goed om te doen.
By all means go Habana. We wish you well.
Just remember you don’t make the Bulls they make you.
Besides you r losing a bit of speed lately.
Rassie seems desperate. Wants to buy himself out of trouble.
Actually hilarious when you think of it.
WeePee once the breeding ground of all our great backs now wanting to buy a Bull or a Lion or whatever they can get to save their bacon.
@bul-a-bhloo – I agree 100%. I want J fourie to go. He will just become an average player is he does. Like you said…by all means go.
Habana would do well to remember that his best asset at the moment is his reputation.
Plenty of class wings to replace him.
Then again WeePee may just want to play him at center. Something Snor tried with the Bulls and got told to get stuffed.
Dag Ed.
Ja Fourie moet besef hy is die star by die Lions.
By WeePee gaan dit kwyn, want hulle het klaar baie goeie spelers, hulle werk net nie as ‘n eenheid nie.
@bul-a-bhloo – Ek stem Bhloo. Ek voel maar as iemand wil gaan moet hulle gaan.
As mens lojaliteit soek, kry maar ‘n hond.
Sorry
Hello Bhloo
Die posisie wat Habana speel by die Bulle is goed gecover, regtig as hy wil gaan sy reputasie weggooi in n vreemde kultuur dan moet hy maar gaan. Akona, en VD Heever is great replacements.
@superBul – Laat mens maar wonder oor Rassie. Anton v. Zyl, Chris Jack, Jaque Fourie, Bryan Habana, Wynand Olivier……Hoeveel wil hy nog try koop? Nee man. Bou jou eie span Rassie.
Goeie naand mense
Waarom al die beswaardheid?
Ons is mos nou in ‘n professionele era, of hoe?
