Lyndon Lee Hartnick (born 8 July 1986 in Heidelberg) is a South African rugby union player, who most recently played with the SWD Eagles.[1] His regular position is flanker or number eight.

Career[edit]

He represented the SWD U19 team in the 2007 Under-19 Provincial Championship competition. In 2008, he moved to East London and joined the Border Bulldogs for the 2008 Currie Cup First Division season.[2] He was an unused sub for their first match of the season, but did make his first class debut the following week when he started the match against the Pumas,[3] helping them to a 27–23 victory. Four more starts and one substitute appearance followed that season.
