(VIDEO) Bryan Habana races against a plane... and wins!

Bryan Habana is known for being one of the fastest men in rugby but you would not expect him to have the wheels of an Airbus A380.

 

The winger has previously kept pace with a cheetah but he was keen to show that he has not lost a yard following his recent move to Toulon.

 

Powered by FOUR Rolls Royce engines, the jet can reach flight speeds up to 600mph but Habana showed off his explosive start by winning the race down the runway. 

 

 

It may not be the most conventional pre-season preparation, but it should put the 30-year-old in good shape for Toulon's warm-up against Racing Metro on August 2.

 

 

Perhaps the Springbok was spurred on by Mick Jagger's glamorous daughter, Georgia May, who was waving the start flag.

 

 

Habana is not the only high-profile arrival in the South of France this summer.

 

Leciester's Martin Castrogiovanni has also signed for the French giants alongside Australian winger Drew Mitchell.

 

 

 

 

The 30-year-old Habana has already enjoyed a glittering career and his sights are now set on a place in next year's Rugby World Cup.
