16 years ago today, Habana's brace ends Springboks Australian drought
- 2585
16 years ago today, Bryan Habana's brace helped the Springboks end their seven-year wait for a win on Australian soil.
The speedster was the star of the show scoring two stunning tries, the second of which won the game for the visitors.
Percy Montgomery also kicked three penalties and a drop goal as South Africa went top of the Tri-Nations table.
It was South Africa's first win on Australian soil since 1998 with a thrilling 22-19 win.
It was Australia's fourth successive defeat - their worst run of results in 24 years - and they eventually finished rock bottom of the standings after failing to win a single game in the tournament for the first time.
