Habana participated at a number of events in Colombo with Mastercard, showcasing the Web Ellis trophy, and will make a brief visit to Kandy during his stay. 

He said it was great of Mastercard to bring the trophy to Sri Lanka, which serves as a sign of excellence, hard work, dedication and sacrifice; which just eight men have held the honour of holding aloft. Habana said former Sri Lankan cricketer, Mahela Jayawardena, had shown him some videos of Sri Lankan schools rugby five years ago, and he was “blown away” by the talent and passion displayed by players. The former South African Vice Captain, who holds the joint record for the highest number of tries in World Cups, said it was interesting to “catch a glimpse of what (Sri Lankan rugby) could be”, and that it would be great to cultivate hopes that one day Sri Lanka  could cultivate hopes of a world cup environment.
