de Jongh runs sharp, crisp lines and tackles better than Damian. He also has better positional awareness. So yes, I would play him. My ideal 10 can defend on his own, pass off either hand with a range of passes, have good tactical kicking, make decisions when play breaks down or spot opportunities, direct play and hit the gainline hard. Granted Morné doesn't tick all of those boxes perfectly. He isn't going to charge into the defensive line as ferociously as a Butch or Pollard, but he can do it. Butch was the more talented of the three. Morné is more rounded than Pollard. Lambie ticks almost zero boxes.
Your selections:
Pretorius, Lambie, Goosen, Cooper, Murray, Watson, DA at 13, JJ Reinach to name but a few... and all have failed!
A common theme? Can't tackle, cannot make decisions. Nice one... coach.

Now Ive heard it all...
Kirchner has outperformed Frans, Aplon, Lambie and until the 2013 EOYT
Willie. He outplayed Folau twice and bettered him throughout the
competition. So yes, I would play him without any regrets.
Are you serious...cannot believe it!
Here's a tribute to Kirchner

Morné has outplayed the Aussie 10s quite well! Has acquitted himself well, and the only 10 in SA who has matched him is Pollard. If you disagree then give some references to defend Lambie. The ball is in your court.

Morne has outplayed who? How come he is the regular bench flyhalf of Stade Francais? If he cannot make the starting berth of Stade Francais is he really an acceptable flyhalf?

He is better than the Lambighini-pig that destroyed our EOYT! That's all that matters. You back the two worst performing 10s for the Boks, and completely excuse their shortcomings. What a farce you are .

Wrong Lestat, Mike has it spot on you are the fool who thinks donkey Morne was great.......the joke is on you. Just look up Morne's Bok record, it makes for poor reading

Morné has a good Bok record. You don't know Bok rugby very well Dave! Here's some free advice, if you find yourself in agreement with Michael... consult an exorcist and have those daemons cast out of thee.

I had no idea losses are only allocated to the fly half. What a complete perspective you have! When New Zealand defeated SA in 2011 by a record score it had nothing to do with Nonu running Lambie down. Or Lambie did nothing wrong on the EOYT. Definitely no bias here, yet its always the flyhalf (if Morné is playing). If the Boks still succeed then it was a "moral loss", even if they score many tries. A loss with Lambie, now that's progress.
Sure.
