Habana - I Couldn't Have Tried Harder
South Africa winger Bryan Habana conceded that he couldn’t have tried any harder to break the record for most tries score at a Rugby World Cup.
Chances fell Habana’s way in the first half but the veteran was unable to break the 15-try mark he now shares with Jonah Lomu.
"It definitely wasn't for lack of trying,” Habana said.
"Opportunities come and sometimes things don't happen for a reason.
"I have a lot of respect for Jonah and maybe rightly that his record stays around for a little bit longer.
"Someone like Drew Mitchell (Australia) has got an opportunity maybe to score two tries tomorrow and break the record. I definitely tried but it just wasn't meant to be so.”
