Wow what a performance by the young man. He has added some serious strength to his game, not that he ever lacked it. He was all over the park. My guess is Toulon will want to secure his services.


Bismark was huge in the turnover count. He was massive.


Coetzee showed his class with yet another big game.


Esterhuizen was huge in defence.


Botha and Bothma were good.


Stevens and Adriaanse are liabilities

Added some serious strength....that's good to hear. It also points out just how unready he was 2 years ago.

Disagree he was great two years ago. But man oh man was he good tonight. The way he man handled Lobbe was the highlight.
The Pom commentators were waxing lyrical over the lad.

 Pom commentators couldn't say his name correctly, silent 't' at the end of Toit there is!
He had a fantastic game from what I saw, on the shabby livestream that I could only endure for the first 55 minutes.

Mozart is trying in his way to make Du Toit look bad - hence his reference to two years ago.   You can expect nothing else from him - he was anti Du Toit for the past two years.

Nope I never was anti du Toit....I said he was too young and was going to hurt himself. Has he been injured a lot? Yep. I hope this additional bulking finally gives him the strength to play the game he wants without injury. But as we have seen, the S15 is a long grueling competition. He needs to pace himself.

His injuries had nothing to do with his age or the level he was playing at.......freak accidents that happened to him.

 

Were Kitshoff and Thomas du Toit too young to play at this level aged 19 - no they were not.

 

PSDT more than lived at this level 2 years ago, he was huge and made a massive impression.

 

19/20 year old play at the highest level more and more these days as kids start gym work early on. My son is 17 and looks like a body builder

With respect - when you gives a player a derogatory nickname - you are against that player - whether you admit it otherwise or not.   
I do not really think Du Toit bulked up - but he looks faster and stronger than he used to be - especially when he tackles player after player backwards and allows Coetzee and Bismarck to make turnovers galore.  I say faster because he was constantly in all plays in evidence.

Mike, open your eyes, you can see PSDT has bulked his upper body and arms up. He had no definition prior to his injury, he relied on his natural size. 

 

He would not have got any faster, was always quick for a big guy.

 

Sharksworld informed us that he bulked up in his time off and one can see it

 Wonder what his weight is now?  He used to be 118 kgs  - looks to me he could be around 120 to 122 kgs now.   May even be 125 kgs.  We will soon know when they give the player particulars before matches.

I'm guessing 122kg

 

He looked much bigger than Botha

Always been one of my favourite players...this one I got right...always maintained a fitting partner for EE...an unfortunately injury but back stronger than ever.
