Habana, who has scored eight tries during the tournament, is quick to pour lavish praise on his unheralded colleagues, saying: "I think Juan has had a great tournament and has come on leaps and bounds over the last few years. He has come out of Schalk Burger's shadow, and the momentum we get from him is unbelievable.

"The calmness Fourie brings to our team is equivalent to the calmness Jonny Wilkinson brings to the England team. He has grown into the best scrum-half I have ever seen grace a rugby field."

Habana has attracted top billing for the Springboks this week, and is quite happy to see England regard him as the danger man.

"This match is not just about Bryan Habana," he said.

"I don't mind if I am a marked man - that means they are not worrying too much about the other 14 players in the team, who are just as talented.

"I don't think I am the star. There are 30 guys in this squad and without all of us, this campaign would not have been a success."
