History in the making.

South Africa gave USA an awful trimming this evening in their Pool B encounter of the World Cup with a 64-0 win.

The hero of the night was Bryan Habana who made history in the devastating win with his hat-trick of trys in 19 minutes.

The opener saw him equal the record of Munster legend Dougie Howlett by grabbing his 13th ever in the tournament, which puts Keith Earls record of eight in the shade somewhat

But Habana mist have smelled blood as he kept going and he scored his 14th Rugby World Cup try in the second half

That pushed him to just within one of Jonah Lomu

And he equalled the record with a almost copybook Habana effort late in the second half
