Bok side

"This is now apparently the guy that contributes nothing other than regulation tackling. Fuck off"

Have to agree Pakie

Suit yourself Dave. 

Seeing a guy driving through a ruck creating turnover possession and then saying something like "he certainly does not contribute physically" is the dictionary definition of delusion.

"Come on Dave how do you explain that video footage away?"

Quite simply, you can't, which is why even Mostert's attacking ruck effeciently is actually better and higher than our fantastic Eben, and that speaks volumes, given just how incredible Eben is .

"Him flying into a ruck to join his teammates is hardly physical dominance"

"It’s virtually impossible for a skinny narrow shouldered 2m tall player weighing 112kg to ever be physically dominant - the science is against him"

Then why is he more effecient than Eben when attacking the ruck? 

"There is zero bulk on the guy and his work in contact suffers as a result"

"Plenty of heart and energy as always with minimum physical impact"

Well, either Mostert's technique is better than Eben, when attacking the ruck .... or he is physically more impactful than Eben ..... you choose.

Useful video. When do we ever see DudToit making an open field tackle on a wing in space like the tackle Mostert made on the Lions wing. We don’t …he can hit stationary targets, a wing in full flight….never. 

Mostert is the better all round tackler as constantly demonstrated by tackling completion numbers. Test after test.. And tackling is Dud’s long suite.

Minute 0.24 Mostert is hit by Itoje and another Lions forward a meter outside the 22….he breaks through their joint tackles and ends 2 metres inside the 22. Physically dominant…case closed.

I challenge anyone to show me evidence of Mostert being dominant in the carry or defensively or hitting a ruck in the footage above

You didn't see him hit one ruck in that footage? Not even when he pushed the Lions off their own ruck to win a turnover for the Boks? Dave, you are being intellectually dishonest and just like Mike expecting people to keep producing evidence over and over while you just keep denying seeing anything. Pathetic. If only your integrity matched your mouth.

Who are dishonest is the supporters who wants the 34 year old in the team next year,   He si not irereplacable  and that is a fact,   I love the way Mozart found one case that Mostert got the ball for 1 meter and for a change went forwards in the tackle,   After 72 tests is one case enough to set any norm?   

Stupid argument anyway - most of the posters who want younger players suppor Mostert as if their lives depend on it.    He is not rreplaceble so this story is way off the mark and reality,    .            

Plum…..I don’t really think about Mostert, so I guess that tells you all you need to know.

Dear editor, can we please have a 'don't likes' knoppie. Dankie.

Ha ha ha ! 

Oh yes, Plum. I dream about them  

Itoje hits him from the side the other player hits him head on….he makes 3 meters. But I get it, when Dud Toit makes 3 meters through a single tackle,  it’s a great example of physicality….when Mostert gets tackled by 2 players, it’s not, because one didn’t hit him head on. How often do two players hit a runner head on simultaneously I wonder.

Honeyball, a devastating tackler had narrow shoulders.

Oh I see Itoje wasn’t in position to make the tackle, but in the instant he fell off Mostert, the other Lions player became uncommitted which is why Mostert powered through his tackle. 

"DA we know you know fuck all about rugby and you have just confirmed that telling us powder puff is more effective than Eben in attacking the ruck whatever that is"

Typical Dave, being the absolute doos that he always is..... what a complete and utter idiot to think that he knows absolutely everything about every single player

Here it is you twat ...

All you did here is just confirm your absolute ignorance regarding Mostert, such is your hatred of the guy .....you know a lot about Rugby Dave.... whilst at the same time, also knowing sweet fuck all as well .

Mostert vs Eben stats

"If only your integrity matched your mouth"

Never going to happen

"LOL DA...

I guess we put this down as a mega-ooooooooooopsie for Dave.

Imagine a useless powder-puff having better ruck stats than Eben"

It just clearly shows you how utterly pathetic the doos Dave really is .... especially regarding certain players.

For someone who admittedly knows less about the game than Dave does, it really didn't take much for me at all, to show him up to be the fucking clueless idiot he just showed himself to be..... on this specific point.

What a fucking twat

Actually Itoje has his arms wrapped around Mostert and the other Lions player hits him head on….the only reason Itoje can’t hang on is Mostert powers through the other tackler, so Itoje spins  off the back. Mostert is slowed down though and the other player eventually brings him down three metres ahead.

He powered through two tacklers…fact.
