Has Pead done enough to earn more game time?

|January 06, 2026
JUNIOR Springbok scrumhalf star Haashim Pead’s match-winning cameo for the Lions in Saturday’s United Rugby Championship derby against the Sharks in Durban will only serve to fuel calls for more playing minutes for the World Junior Player of the Year.
LIONS replacement scrumhalf Haashim Pead, winger Angelo Davids, and hooker PJ Botha were all smiles at the Shark Tank in Durban on Saturday, where they secured a nail-biting URC win over the Sharks, courtesy of Pead's late try.

The 20-year-old showed off his great eye for the half-gap with a sniping run and try from close range after collecting the ball off the base of the ruck that gave the visitors a thrilling 23-22 victory in the Shark Tank after the final hooter.
But beyond the exhilaration of snatching a crucial derby victory with his first URC try, the big question for Lions fans now is simple: has Pead done enough to justify more opportunities, not just late-game cameos?
