This is very much along the lines of List of international rugby union tries by Jonah Lomu, Habana is his nation's record try-scorer and has some breath-taking action in his locker. There are a couple more lists of this nature waiting in the wings, so happy to get this one "good and proper" before unleashing those beasts. As ever, thanks for any time and energy expended on making Wikipedia's content just that little bit shinier. Cheers! The Rambling Man (talk) 14:15, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments from BeatlesLedTV
  • "On 21 November 2009 Havana" comma after 2009
  • Image needs alt text
  • "Italy, which means that he has" → Italy, meaning that he has
  • "try-drought was eventually ended" remove was
  • Ref 28 has no website
  • Link The Daily Telegraph in ref 7

That's all I got. As always, great job! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 03:18, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

BeatlesLedTV thanks, I think I've addressed all of the above. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:07, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Dudley

  • Why not use a photo of him playing such as File:2015 Rugby World Cup, South Africa vs. USA (21845972899).jpg?
  • "as he failed to score for almost fifteen months after." This seems awkward. Maybe "as he then failed to score for almost fifteen months"
  • Looks good. Dudley Miles (talk) 21:36, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Cool, thanks Dudley Miles, I replaced the image (who knew?!) and revised the text, not exactly per your suggestion, but perhaps you'd be kind enough to check what I did write and see if it's cool with you. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 22:00, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

*Do we have a ref for Joost van der Westhuizen's number of tries?
  • Maybe we don't need to say Springboks? The term isn't introduced anywhere before it is just used.
  • What is a Test Match in Rugby terms? I know what it means in Cricket, but this seems different...
  • Score column seems to be doing some really weird thing sorting wise.

Courcelles I think I've addressed your concerns, please do let me know if there's anything more. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:29, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Prose

  • "On 21 November 2009, Habana scored a try against Italy, meaning that he has scored a try against each of the "Tier 1" nations." - "meaning" sounds 'strange' (to me) and "scored a try" is repeated too closely? Maybe 'accomplishing the feat of scoring..." or... 'On 21 November 2009, when Habana scored a try against Italy, he had succeeded in scoring a try against each of the "Tier 1" nations.' or... to divide up more... 'When Habana scored a try against Italy on 21 November 2009, it meant that he had scored a try against each of the "Tier 1" nations.'
  • "The following summer..." - year?
  • All refs in prose are working and support the relevant text

Table

  • Tries 31 (Westpac) and 66 (AMI) - are using sponsor's names whereas others don't?
  • Try 33 - tweak brackets in broken competition wlink
  • Try 33 - ref 29 is for 1st Test in which Habana didn't try. He did in 2nd Test 27 June at Loftus... so ref url should be this, (Bryn Palmer and date pub 27 June 2009 are correct).
  • Try 33 - In table, score should be SA 28-25 Lions
  • Try 37 Johann van Riebeeck Stadium - was only known by that name up til 2000? Ref uses Puma Stadium
  • Try 47 2012 v NZ - IRPA double dagger missing
  • Try 47 ref says played at Soccer City Stadium ie FNB (and FNB Stadium and History of rugby union matches between New Zealand and South Africa confirm

Table refs - some are missing pubn date and/or journo name - okay for me to add directly or do you prefer I add here?

Feel free to add away, quicker than typing it all out here just for me to then find them and fix them, thanks!! The Rambling Man (talk) 12:25, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
