Talented scrumhalf Morne van den Berg is hopeful of implementing lessons learned during his time in the Springbok set-up in his own game when he runs out for the Lions over the coming weeks and months.

Van den Berg was a somewhat surprise call-up to the Boks this season, but following a few strong performances he will most likely also get the nod to tour to Europe next month.

Besides Van den Berg, the scrumhalves who've donned the green and gold this season are Faf de Klerk, Grant Williams, Jaden Hendrikse and Cobus Reinach.

But first Van den Berg will look to impress in the United Rugby Championship (URC) which got underway for the four South African teams last weekend.
