Erasmus underwent Chemotherapy during WC

Ja they rushed Lomp back in but one clash with Vunipola led to the poor guy being helped off the field....slow and pap.

Tackle radius of a biscuit. 

Brain of a jelly/body of a meringue/ passing ability of clotted cream. That’s the amazing thing....the Boks were playing a game plan which suited him....basically static. And Mostert was still much better. Imagine in an open game plan where Mostert’s way superior passing skills could be deployed.

A flat track bully....but more flat track than bully.

No what’s important is like 2015 his form against the minnows disappeared when he played the big boys......bog ordinary against Wales, and a casualty against England, but a giant against the Japanese Lilliputians.  This slow thinking, low jumping, meringue bodied drol was no loss in the final.

The AO idiot lost the argument about the Springbok team performances in the WC and went quiet - but Mozart changed the topic to De Jager.    Not surprising - he was dead set against De Jager in 2014 because he supported Matfield at lock for the Springboks,   Matfield was a flop after his return from retirement and that was over and over again.   

He also went ballistic about De Allende because of his support of Steyn,  His dislike o f Erasmus was another idiocy,            

Lood was a giant against Japan for precisely two runs. That was it. His immobility, lack of speed and low work rate was something of a problem. He also has hands of stone. Most tests, you'll see those clumsy hands. Matfield would never have blown two overlaps in the opposition 22 in a World Cup heavyweight clash like Lood did against Wales. 

The fact is that Mafield blew matches after his return from retirement.   I do not know and never saw two overlaps that De Jager blew in the Wales test.   So another lot of total BS by AO.   

Watching ou Maaik and Omlett debating rugby is like watching two monkeys debating quantum physics.

Herr Omlett yapping behind a fence. The memories of being used to mop the deck haven't eased with time.

But it's okay, he drew a three game series of chess with Herr Grump in 2008.

I think in future, I shall refer to Herr Omlett simply as Not-Mozart. A simple fact that gnaws at its core. Mozart envy. 

Aug has  you by 30 IQ points Dave....that makes your ‘debate’ rather pointless.

Omlett and Omellete together again at last . . . the funnie st double act on the forum!

Nah Koosie and Rooinek are the funniest double act.

"IQ my arse"

Quite the connection you made there. Could we be seeing the emergence of honesty? 

I’m not even going to try to understand what that means. There are things I’d rather not know.

Lood is the walking definition of a flat track bully.

Why is he a flat track bully?

Nonsense 

No you’re right Wanker.....he doesn’t always dominate weak opposition.

"Tackle radius of a biscuit. "

"Brain of a jelly/body of a meringue/ passing ability of clotted cream."

GOLD!!! I'm no Lood fan...not too fond of Mostert either, but both are probably better than they're being given credit for on here...but in the absence of real sport, it's marvelous watching the fight on this thread!

You are a total train smash   when it comes to rugby issues,  So lets get this straight you write constantly in the past about  Mostert - there is a big  difference between the two players,   De Jager bullies weaker locks and stands up against the best, Mostert gets bullied by all international locks.  

Listening to the commentators in the final - they said that the replacement of De Jager weakens the forward pack.   These people are regular commentators on club rugby in England and saw Mostert frequently when playing for Gloucester so they new what they were talking about,    

Lood is a useless, unskilled, slow, ponderous, passive, lethargic lump who may as well possess T-Rex arms. He is shown up every game. His one and only great test was against Scotland in 2014. That's it. The end. If this was 1952, he'd be in his element. 

‘T-Rex arms’......... hell he has a sloth’s energy, the vision of a bat, and the competitiveness of a klipvis. 

Two Rugby idiots both keep showing total lack of rugby knowledge on a continuous basis.  I think that Erasmus in his little finger knows more about rugby than you two combined kn ows about the game.   I am amazed what you pretend you see in games nobody else sees.   

Saffy likes two things: 1.Bulk, 2.Passivity. He uses these two ingredients to birth those long Christmas lists of names . 

Lomp the best lock on the field? Nah the 4th best lock on the Springbok side. From Rugby 365:

19 Rudolph Snyman (on for Etzebeth, 52nd minute) 
Made an impact when he was introduced. The lock proved to be an effective line-out option as he directed the driving maul very well. Was also very good in open play.
8/10

20 Franco Mostert (on for De Jager, 58th minute) 
His first touch of the ball was far from perfect or accurate, however at the end put in an industrious shift.
6/10

5 Lodewyk de Jager

Put in a strong shift and provided plenty of muscle in some driving mauls before he left the field just short of the hour mark.
6/10

4 Eben Etzebeth
Disrupted the Wales’ set piece and his aggressive nature around the rucks and in tackles was a much-needed component.
7/10

Wales semi 2015 - Boks on attack in the 22, Lood drops the ball (56:32)

Nine minutes later, Boks on attack again just outside the Wales 22, Lood is monstered back in the tackle (something that supposedly only happens to Mostert) and loses the ball on the ground again (67:24).

And then of course he misses Kaino in the final.

Nothing has changed in the 4 years since. Put him against the big boys and he fades.

Pakie

Put Matfield after return from retirement and Mostert against the big boys and both vanished from sight.   Your story about 2015 is garbled at best.   

So lets look at 2019 - that is more pertinent.  Remember players mature as  they grow older and gain more experience.  Mostert was a dead loss in the RC - against the AB's in the RC he was totally useless in line-outs and was never used in the subsequent match ion line-outs against Argentina.  IN the WC match against the AB's he missed two tackles - one leading to a AB try and he was again useless in line-outs.  That was enough for Erasmus to drop him from a starting line-up of the Springboks for the rest of the WC.   

He replaced De Jager in the  final and was totally insignificant in the game.   Watch minute 41 in the final where he dropped the ball and killed an attack  by the Springboks.   I also agree with Dave he effectively did miss 2 tackles in the final.   He was not used in the line-outs against England as well and the English commentators did say he weakened the scrum compared to De Jager.  

De Jager had an excellent 2019 season.  I the RC he forced his way over the line and scored a try against the Aussies and even though he was on the bench in the first WB match he did well in the actual games he started in,   His injury was a freak accident,   Vunipola fell on him in the game and he injured his shoulder as a result.  Pity - since he would not have been was weak as Mostert was,

What is clear is that Mostert had his final test in the WC and he will not play for the Springboks again.    There are aside from De Jager too many more physical players at lock to be considered for selection and they will not fade against real locks like Mostert did.   He was given a chance to play at 7 and failed that as well.                   

"‘T-Rex arms’......... hell he has a sloth’s energy, the vision of a bat, and the competitiveness of a klipvis. "

You two are on a roll!!!

Actually, it was Stephanie, your crush, who was useless against New Zealand. What kind of buffoon runs out of line at nobody in particular and gets himself obstructed by the man without the ball? He does this repeatedly game after game. 

As for Lood being physical? Not really. He is heavy, not physical. Against fitter players, he gets bullied. Against semi-professionals he is okay, because his weight is more significant. 

AO

BS - you stupid fart,   Du Toit is used that way by Erasmus  and was greatly successful in disrupting the opposition.  He cannot help it that Mostert is so weak in defense that people ran through him.      

It really is amazing what you come up with.   Du Toit was picked by a panel of experts with hundreds of tests and many years of international experience on test level as the 2019 Player of the Year.   That shows how really piss poor you real knowledge pf rugby really is. 

Then you still come up with Esterhuizen as center,  There is one thing very clear and that is if Esterhuizen was in the team and not De Allende  the Springboks would not have won the WC. That is why De Allende was picked by experts on the WC team of the Championship.   The best center on display at that series.   

And then we had Meyer as a top class coach - fired by Stade Francais because he was clueless.  The Club was ruined and is out of the Top 14 because of a totally incompetent coach.

All your drivel will get you nowhere, but shows why you had to change your user name on site is many times,   Time to try some new name to hide your total rugby idiocy, but your last name change  did not last long before you betrayed yourself through  idiocy -  but still will for a short while helped you out.        

A panel of experts.......waaaaaaahahaha.....a few old rugger buggers who knew a Bok had to get Player of the Year. And so they gave it to  the most popular Springbok.

Just a popularity contest..... can’t pass, can’t tackle in open field, can’t fetch, can’t offload, can’t lineout steal, can’t beat a tackle......the list of cant’s is embarrassing. 

But at least, unlike Lomp, he wasn’t splattered like a vrot  tomato by Vunipola.
