I am a huge Lambie fan, by now everyone knows this. I feel the kid (by now I should say man), has huge potential and talent for a young player. And I don’t think I am the only one that feels this way. Since coming onto the scene Lambie has shown something we haven’t seen in South African flyhalfs for a while, innovation and vision, but surprisingly I have to agree with most comments recently, that Morne should be the man to continue as the incumbent with Heyneke Meyer.

Meyer’s World Cup bench men
They may be guaranteed starters for the Sharks in their favoured positions – and may both be genuine game changers of proven pedigree – but as far as Heyneke Meyer is concerned, neither Pat Lambie nor Pieter-Steph du Toit is seemingly good enough as anything other than a “utility player”, at this stage.
