None other than the huge character of Patrick Lambie.
In everything that Pat did , he did well and was a tremendous influence to all who were priviledged to work and interact with him.
He has helped Curwin Bosch immensely with his kicking. Pat a great man who continues to give his all to everything he puts his hands to.
Such an inspiration and yes he would have been a great if it was not for severe head injury.
Pat Lambie a folk hero who brought the best out of those around him
Wish Pat Lambie all the vey best. Great talent and courage.
Naas knew the dangers of being too physical and wisely kept out of trouble. Wonder if Pat could have been more careful.
Curwin Bosch seems aware of the problem.
Which all illustrates the value of the 98 kg Pollard who like Butch could get involved. Pollard is a great flyhalf. Has it all.

While living on the North Coast I never had the privilege of meeting Lambie,. However, I know a lot of people who did and what they told me about him is his absolute sense of decency and a person of character.
Lam bie is from a family with high moral values and is an example of the best type of people one can hope to know.
I read that article and it is exactly what he brings to the Sharks in their enhanced performances this year. He is a clever rugby thinker and I would not be surprised at all if he is brought into the Springbok coaching set-up by Erasmus.
Yes Mike that might happen. His ability to positively contribute a huge input is known to those who know him. Otherwise he never speaks or boasts about anything of himself ...the world needs real men like this...his absolute unselfish character is a gem stone in this egoistic. self serving world.
He was a mediocre player, but considering how young he retired I'm happy to hear he has found a constructive way of being connected to the game. Maybe he has the knack for coaching in general. Who knows, best of luck to him.

Compared to dear Morne - he was a star,
Lambie has the brain and personality to go places.

And how about Lambie compared to Goosen and Swiel?
The great thing about Patrick he never had a grudge against Stander and regarded it just like the man he is and part of the hazards in the game. A true sportsman.
What an example to all of us. People like this are a huge inspiration, especially one so young.
Real good breeding coupled with true humility.
