This is pretty cool. Bryan Habana, who has 86 caps for good old SA and is known as one of the speediest players in the game, took part in the one-off race against the A380 “super-jumbo”, which belongs to British Airways. Watched by fellow rugby players Jean de Villiers and Chris Robshaw, the 95kg sportsman rapidly gained a lead on the 366,000kg aircraft after the contest was started by the model Georgia May Jagger. The aircraft then began to close the gap as it accelerated quickly towards take-off. The stunt was carried out to publicise the launch of BA's A380, in particular the airline’s new flights to Johannesburg,which begin early next year.
