Pat Lambie is back on the training field and expected to start against the Reds this Saturday.

The Sharks and Springbok flyhalf missed last week's clash against the Lions due to a bout of tick bite fever. Word from the Sharks camp is that Lambie has since made a full recovery and trained with the team on Tuesday.

His return to the starting side will see Frans Steyn moving back to No 12. Coach Jake White will, however, have to plug the holes left by Paul Jordaan (injured) and Odwa Ndungane (unavailable due to a death in the family).
