Springbok coach Peter de Villiers has made one positional change to his starting line-up for their Tri-Nations clash against the All Blacks in Wellington.
The 21-year old Patrick Lambie will now slot into the flyhalf position, with Morné Steyn moving to fullback.

De Villiers earlier named Steyn at flyhalf and Lambie at fullback.

But, according to Beeld’s J.J. Harmse, the change was apparent during the Boks’ final training session on Thursday, when Lambie called the shots from flyhalf.

Steyn has only played two matches at fullback – in 2008 for the Bulls – but he is not worried about the challenge he faces. “I may not have played many games at fullback, but I’m confident that I could make a success of it,” said Steyn.

Steyn says he has an idea of how Carter’s head works, which will help him to cover the All Black pivot’s lethal tactical kicking and even pose an attacking threat to the New Zealanders from the back.

Steyn will still be taking the kicks at goal for the Boks.
