		All Black winger Jonah Lomu is full of praise for the man Former All Black winger Jonah Lomu is full of praise for the man who looks set to break his World Cup tryscoring record this weekend. The rugby legend says he will be quick to congratulate Bryan Habana if the Springbok sets a new record for the number of tries scored in a single World Cup in the final against England. Habana equalled Lomu's RWC 1999 record of eight tries with his brace against Argentina in the semifinal and looms as a major threat to England's chances of retaining its title in Paris. "The sky's the limit for him," Lomu told BBC Radio Five Live. "When he got to the eight the other day I was the first to stand up and applaud. He's a great ambassador for South Africa and a great ambassador for the sport. I'm hoping he will break it on Saturday because records are there to be broken. If you're defending against him you've got to shut his space down quickly. If he gets it in a dangerous area, nine times out of 10 he will score.
