Habana plays down altitude factor

Bryan Habana has warned South Africa should not pitch up at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday thinking the high altitude alone will help them overcome the British and Irish Lions in the second Test.

Much has been made about the 1,214-metre distance above sea level of the Pretoria stadium, with some former players even warning that if the tourists failed to win the series-opener in Durban, they would fail to come away with anything.
