VIDEO: 'The best centre in the world'

WATCH Sharks centre Lukhanyo Am's sublime try against the Bulls on Saturday.

Am, already regarded as the best No.13 in the game, showed his amazing talent as he gathered the ball straight from the restart, kicked ahead and touched down for the try.

The Sharks eventually recorded a 29-22 win at Loftus Versfeld.

Commenting on Am's try, Sharks coach Sean Everitt said:  "We do have the best centre in the world.

"The try he [Am] scored just before half-time and the steal towards the end of the match are moments that take the wind out of your sails.

"When he plays at 13 he is probably one of the best players on the field‚ and when we play him at 12 he has been one of the best on the field.

“If you go back to the days when he used to play wing for the Kings‚ he was probably the best on the field."

The coach added the 28-year-old has yet to reach his peak.

“Every time he puts on the Sharks or the Springbok jersey he seems to make magic," Everitt said.

“He is an unbelievable rugby player. I think what happens with age is that you make better decisions whether on attack or defence.

“You execute a little better because you understand the game more because you have experienced situations more often.

"You get it right and he certainly got that. One will have to wait and see whether he will lose his pace when he gets older but he is certainly in fine form at the moment.”
