2007 RWC Biography

The 2007 Rugby World Cup was played in France between 7 September and 20 October 2007. Each of the 20 competing nations was required to confirm their 30-man squad by 14 August. United States player Thretton Palamo, aged 18 when the teams were named and 8 days past his 19th birthday when he made his only appearance in the competition, was the youngest to ever take part at a World Cup final stage.

The 2007 Rugby World Cup was the sixth Rugby World Cup, a  international rugby union competition inaugurated in 1987. Twenty nations competed for the Webb Ellis Cup in the tournament,

France won the hosting rights in 2003, beating a bid from England. The competition consisted of 48 matches over 44 days; 42 matches were played in ten cities throughout France, as well as four in Cardiff, Wales, and two in Edinburgh, Scotland.

The eight quarter-finalists from 2003 were granted automatic qualification, while 12 other nations gained entry through the regional qualifying competitions that began in 2004 – of them, Portugal was the only World Cup debutant. The top three nations from each pool at the end of the pool stage qualified automatically for the 2011 World Cup.

The competition opened with a match between hosts France and Argentina on 7 September at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, outside Paris. The stadium was also the venue of the final, played between England and South Africa on 20 October, which South Africa won 15–6 to win their second World Cup title.

Bryan Habana Biorgraphy

Bryan Gary Habana OIS  was born 12 June 1983 and is a South African former professional rugby union player. He played  mainly as a wing and is considered to be one of the greatest players in the history of the sport.

He played for the Golden Lions, the Blue Bulls and Western Province in South Africa, for the Bulls and the Stormers in Super Rugby, and for Toulon in the French Top 14, and won 124 caps for the South Africa national team.

He was part of the South Africa team that won the 2007 Rugby World Cup and was one of the stars of the tournament, his eight tries equalling the record for a single tournament set by Jonah Lomu in 1999.

He was subsequently named the 2007 IRB Player of the Year.

During the 2015 Rugby World Cup he equalled  Jonah Lomu's career record of 15 tries in World Cups. He is in second place among all time test try scorers, with 67 tries.

John Smit Biography.

John William Smit, OIS,  was born 3 April 1978 and is a South African former professional rugby union player and former chief executive officer of the Sharks. He was the 50th captain of the Springbok rugby union team and led the team to win the 2007 Rugby World Cup.

He played most of his senior career as a hooker, but also won 13 caps as a prop, where he had also played for South Africa's under-21 team.

He retired from international rugby following the 2011 Rugby World Cup as the most-capped South African player ever, with 111 appearances, subsequently passed by several players since.

He was inducted into the IRB Hall of Fame on 24 October 2011, alongside all other World Cup-winning captains and head coaches from the tournament's inception in 1987 through 2007.
