Lambie named at pivot for Springboks

South Africa head coach Heyneke Meyer has entrusted 22-year-old Pat Lambie with flyhalf responsibilities for Saturday’s meeting with Ireland in the Aviva Stadium (5.30pm).

The Springboks have gone for continuity in selection with just three changes to the team that started in their last Test, against New Zealand in Soweto last month. All three were forced because of injury.
