Smith relishes reunion with Steyn as Lions eye turnaround
The Star
|October 09, 2025
LIONS flyhalf Chris Smith has enjoyed linking up with former Springbok star Morné Steyn after returning to South Africa this season.
Former Bulls flyhalf Smith joined the Lions in the off-season for their United Rugby Championship campaign and started his first match in the narrow 22-20 defeat against Zebre Parma on Sunday.
Smith, who left the Bulls two seasons ago for French club Oyonnax, missed their opening match against Cardiff after suffering a head knock in the Currie Cup final against Griquas. But he was back in the No 10 jersey against Zebre, who won the match late on after a much-improved performance from the Joburg side.
Smith has been working closely with Bok legend Steyn, who, as an assistant coach for the Lions, has been far more open in sharing some of the secrets of the trade.
