What functions are required from looies:-
* defense - defective in most matches
* strong ball carries - average carry of 2.2 meters in tests (provided by Mozart) and 1.8 meters in Super Rugby is seriously defective
* a non-factor in ball protection and recovery
* you quoted I case where he made a possession turnover in all matches he played for the Springboks and in Super Rugby in 4 years - there was none I ever saw.
* pace deficiency caused him mostly to arrive late at breakdown points and often enough did not enter ruck situations at all even when he did arrive slightly earlier.
* line-out takes were virtually non-existent in both tests and Super-rugby (in 2013 he made 3 takes in all tests played)
* could not link with backline players
* never was of any use in open field play.
A 20% pass rate was very high in his case.
