To the sharks haters out there: It is fine to not like a provincial team, or their supporters due to competetiveness or attitude, but it is plain stupid to allow that to taint your view of individual players and their value to the national side. If you genuinely can’t see Lambie is the best 10 option in SA, then you either have provincial blinkers on, or you don’t know anything about rugby, simple as that.

@SuperStirrer-44: When Kankowski returns, Im sure the Sharkies will feel that they have 2 no 8s that should be selected ahead of Spies.

@mxhosa-39: Thats right, Sharks had 2 10s that were beter than Steyn. The French one was on fire and the one returning from injury played some rugby at 15. The French one went back to France and therefore the injured one got the 10 jersey back.

@Mr Black-40:
Yep, the Sharks would never think of signing players from another province.

@mxhosa-39:

Sharks where never trying to sign jantjies, it was him begging us for a contract. We told him to feckoff.

Dont believe everything you read in the media.

Not so long ago the Sharks were keen on signing Jantjies. Now that he seems certain to move to the Stormers, Lambie is their first choice fh.

Why weren’t the Sharks fans clamouring for Lambie to start at 10 upon his return from injury in SR? Yet they’re quite happy to shout for him to be the starting fh for the boks, when a few months ago, he wasn’t even the best 10 in his team.

Hasnt Lambie won a CC playing at 10 already. Or did meyer not consider that performance as it was before he got the job.
Goosen is a find that if injury free could do well for the Boks. Lambie has the potential and has down he is a legitimate option at 10. At 22yo he is needing to get the opportunity to make full transition up to test level.

@John1976-36: He kicked quite well versus the Bulls last week.

So the latest consensus is that Lambie should be considered as a flyhalf first and then as a fullback. I think what is important is that HM should be convince that his tactical kicking has improve to such an extent that he can be trusted with 10 position for SA. I am not sure whether that is the case.

@SuperStirrer-30: Meyer needs to get with the program and consider Lambie as a 10 first then 15 later in case of emergency.

@Philou-27: Probably right.

SuperStirrer — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 07:22:29 +0000

@Brigadier Van Zyl-26: Im sure the Sharks supporters would rather have him at 10, even with Goosen there (Im not saying he is better) but if Meyer clearly states that Lambie is a 15 then its clear that he wont pick him at 10. so the supporters will obviously punt him at 15 even though they know he is best at 10.

@pokkel-24: Yeah, looks like the Sharkies have given up on Keegan.

Seeing that its Sharks week on here. Do you guys think Marcell Coetzee will start next year or the Sharks in Super Rugby?

It looks quite cramped in that Sharks Loose trio.
My pick would be

6. Daniel (c)
7. Alberts
8. Kanko

19. Coetzee

Might have an impact on his Bok selection…..or not……Heyneke has picked guys who havent played in months so if Marcell just gets 5 starts it would not bother him.
