Pity for the Lions Jaco vd Walt left; he has been playing well for Edinburgh. From games I’ve seen he looks like a good running passing flyhalf think he has made a big difference in giving Edinburgh backline more direction. Getting Bennett and wing vd Merwe playing recently after injury has helped too but I think vd Walt has been the catalyst.
