WATCH: Bryan Habana sees the funny side as he completely shanks kick for touch

Embarrassing

Sean McMahon

He won’t be making any career changes to out-half that’s for sure.

Toulon stayed in touch with pool leaders Saracens as they recorded a 31-20 win over the Scarlets at Stade Félix Mayol.

Toulon recorded a bonus point victory and were helped on their way thanks to 16 points from Leigh Halfpenny.

However one of the standout moments of the game came from the 124-times capped Springbok, Bryan Habana.

Scarlets out-half, Rhys Patchell, punts the ball downfield. The ball is reclaimed by Habana inside his own 22 and he has all the time in the world to put in a good, accurate, clearance kick.

Apparently, all the time in the world just isn’t enough.

He immediately hangs his head in shame but to be fair to him, he does tweet footage of the incident and like he said, the ball did find touch after all.

A successful clearance at the end of the day.

Many rugby fans on twitter weighed in with their opinions on Habana’s latest highlight reel moment.

Some took account for the elements (or lack thereof)

Some thought Habana should do what he does best and run it

And the majority simply just took pleasure in the terrible kick!

A small blight on an otherwise stellar career.
