Cape Town - The news coming out of Johannesburg on Monday was that Springbok flyhalf Pat Lambie has been cleared to play in this weekend's Rugby Championship clash against Australia at Loftus Versfeld.

And, furthermore, Bok coach Allister Coetzee has confirmed that the flyhalf will be a part of the plans for the match, according to SARugbymag.

Whether that means a starting role or a place on the bench for Lambie is not clear at this stage, and that will only be known when the Bok team is announced at 13:00 on Thursday.
