Former Springbok boss Peter de Villiers has revealed the valuable piece of memorabilia he received from Bryan Habana that left him ‘humbled’.
De Villiers coached Habana at Test level between 2008 and 2011 and the pair must have forged a close relationship during those four years, because the player has now gifted his former boss with a priceless item.
De Villiers took to social media to express his heartfelt thanks to Habana, who had sent him the personalised boot the player received on his 100th Test.
I am humbled beyond belief.
For one of the greatest players in @Springboks and @WorldRugby history to send this to me knowing how much this would mean to me has left me completely and utterly speechless.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart @BryanHabana you are one of a kind! pic.twitter.com/g48BRtnZQJ
