Nothing in Scottish rugby has provoked as much debate this season as the decision to switch Blair Kinghorn to stand-off and the man at the centre of the experiment could be forgiven for becoming a little frazzled by the scrutiny.
The playmaker is now back to full fitness and believes he can still play an important role as the club chase honours on two fronts. Van der Walt played the final 26 minutes of Saturday’s 41-19 victory over Bath, stepping off the bench to help set up Emiliano Boffelli for his second try of the night.
He made his Scotland breakthrough last season but a combination of injury and Blair Kinghorn’s fine form has left Jaco van der Walt on the periphery for Edinburgh for much of the current campaign.
At 6ft 5in or whatever, the long-striding Blair Kinghorn doesn’t look like everyone’s idea of a fly-half and is indeed some ten inches taller than England’s new darling, the quick-silver Marcus Smith.
Edinburgh host Bath this weekend in the last 16 of the European Challenge Cup.
Edinburgh have already secured a place in the last 16 of the European Challenge Cup but a victory in their final Pool C match against Pau on Friday night will guarantee them a home tie.
It was the first win by a northern hemisphere side in South Africa since the launch of the United Rugby Championship at the start of this season, but that one result will count for little in the final shakedown if the men from the Scottish capital fail to follow it up in their four remaining matches of this league campaign, starting with their next challenge against the Emirates Lions in Johannesburg this coming Saturday.
Defeating a Cell C Sharks side 21-5 fielding several World Cup winners including prolific try-scoring winger Makazole Mapimpi and captain Siya Kolisi was an important statement by Edinburgh on Saturday afternoon.
