    118 – GBS, I know it is not bare with FB, but if you have pure class hold onto it. His father is Scottish we don’t want to lose him. Not saying he must play this year. Give him a year there and see. I think he is superb. Will get better. He can kick at poles too a very good kicker. Though has not had to do that in this S14.

    120 – BdB, Lambie can Bulk up if he has too, think maybe he will. For now he has done a brilliant job there for the Sharks. Give him another year at this level. He is just too good to just be a once off. We also cant lose our best players to the UK like we lost Barritt.

    Anyhow Lambie will be playing in the U20’s Bok side in June he has been selected. So that is good for him.

    Okay I am off, back later for the Stormers game.

    122@ Puma – Yip, let him settle, if he is still that good next year, by all means, cap him, even if from the bench…

    At the moment it is way too soon… often opposing teams only work out a players’s weaknesses after he’s played for a while, so what I’m saying is he is a refreshing novelty at the moment… manage him well and he could become great….
