In Sunday's USA vs SA Rugby World Cup clash, the highlight was the hyped up Zimbabwean Takudzwa taking on one of rugby's best and fastest speedsters.
In the slow mo Ngwenya's expression changes as the express train starts building up speed. He jockeys left and right and then takes off.
Speed Slicing
Habana's best 100m sprint is around 11 seconds, while Ngwenya is just a shade quicker at 10.7. And this proved the case on the field, where the Zimbabwean eased away, showing a clean pair of heels, and then pumping his fists sprinter style in the home strait (behind the poles).
Revenge
Habana wasn't happy with this ego deflation and put in a crunching tackle that resulted in him gashing open part of his face, and cutting the skin of Ngwenya's head. Plenty of blood, the upshot of which meant Habana left the field, and Ngwenya played on.
Interestingly Ngwenya reckons Habana is faster than Rokocoko, and puts Chavhangaas the fastest overall.
Ngwenya's hero has been, he says, Percy Montgomery, and recently, Habana. Modelling is a powerful thing. You may find one day you're on the same field, playing with your heroes. Ngwenya did well in this sense, on Sunday.
