SUPER RUGBY MEDIA GUIDE 2014 SHARKS 307 RYAN KANKOWSKI @Kankowski Position: No. 8 Physical: 193cm/109kg Date of Birth: 14 October 1985 Place of Birth: Port Elizabeth, RSA Super Rugby Caps: 82 Super Rugby Points: 90 Super Rugby Debut: Round 1, 2007 vs Bulls, Durban Test Caps: 20 Test Points: 5 Test Debut 24 November 2007 vs Wales, Cardiff Ryan Kankowski spent the latter half of 2013 playing rugby in Japan for the Tokyo Shuttles, as he did in 2012, and will return to another season of Super Rugby with big plans for his own achievements and development. Having represented South Africa at Sevens and Test levels, Kankowski’s skill set provides a wide range of offerings, and his devastating pace makes him a dangerous customer for the opposition. The rangy No. 8 made seven Super Rugby appearances for the Sharks last season, scoring two tries and forcing six turnovers. PATRICK LAMBIE @PatLambie Position: Flyhalf Physical: 178cm/88kg Date of Birth: 17 October 1990 Place of Birth: Durban, RSA Super Rugby Caps: 50 Super Rugby Points: 515 Super Rugby Debut: Round 6, 2010 vs Highlanders, Dunedin Test Caps: 32 Test Points: 68 Test Debut 6 November 2010 vs Ireland, Dublin A gifted rugby player, Patrick Lambie has represented his country at numerous levels and has become an integral member of the Sharks, despite only turning 23 in the latter stages of 2013. An outstanding solo performance that earned him Match of the Match honours in the 2010 Currie Cup Final set the tone for his ascension to fan-favourite status. Lambie was a precocious talent in school, captaining both the rugby and cricket teams in his final year at Michaelhouse in KwaZulu- Natal. He rapidly rose through the underage ranks before making his Super Rugby debut in Dunedin and Springbok debut against Ireland in Dublin. The talented youngster represented the Sharks on 15 occasions last season, scoring 171 total points (43 penalties, 17 conversions, 1 try, 1 drop goal).
