Lomp is gone for the year.....

Mozart

Are you sure about your source?

Any news like that would make headlines on News24, timesonline, Planet Rugby and  Rugby 365 and will definitely be on the Bulls website,  Nothing other than that he was due to see the specialist in  Tuesday last week and if he was to be operated on it would have happened last week.

Sorry - but I would wait till there are reliable  confirmation of that' story.

, 

It is true, he is going to be out for most of the year. Touch and go for WC selection. Though he wasn't good enough for the Boks anyway. 

Yeah the estimate has now been adjusted to 4 to 5 months out of action .

Probably journalists trying to get the scoop before they had all the info. Still, no guarantee he'll be match fit for the WC.

@ Saffex,

You must have forgotten about James Ryan and Maro Itoje.

Mostert and Snyman comprehensively out played Treeman last year. Show me where Lood has been an asset to the Boks, in any of his tests. 

This type of campaign against De Jager is total BS,   He was by some distance out best no 5 and the campaign against him is unbelievable.   I could literally hear the cheers of Silly Billy and Mozart abut the news - but am afraid as per normal they have a Mostert support group on site.

They first of all wanted Du Toit out of the Springbok squad and the Mostert campaign started and kept going on despite the signs that he weakened the Tight 5.   Now suddenly is a worse lock than    Lawes, Kruis, Itoje, Lose-Jones, Vahaamahina, Toner and Ryan.

That is I am afraid serious disinformation without a shred of evidence to support it.     

Mostert handled himself well. Lood did absolutely nothing. Reference one positive contribution. I bet you can't. He is slow, ponderous, has hands of stone and the tackle radius of a jaffa cake. He doesn't have a lot of endurance either. A flat track bully for a few carries then he fades away. 

No Mozart

How many times must I plead with you to not write your own prejudices s factual on this site.  Marx said he was wrong in those throw-ins in the English test. Now you repeat your statement that it was all Du Toit's fault.      

Around 25 minutes into the French test, he carries it up breaking the tackle of a French loosie. He protected the ball from a strip as he drove his way forward through the tackle of two Frogs. 

Fabricated? You never learn. You tread the weary path to failure, tracing the very footsteps of Lügnerin.

Your ignorance really astounds me Peeper, you totally missed the reference....."Ease down Ripley'. Does that help?

Silly Billy

Nutcase - how many times must I ask you to not make wild and inaccurate statements on site,  

I'll post a clip when I get to my PC. How many times must you find your feet in your mouth? 

Silly Billy

Clips you posted in the past proved nothing and never will  since your interpretation of whata actually happened is so false and piss poor it is unbelievable. ..

You need to look a little closer for details next time. 

Unfortunately I do look objectively and closely at rugby - unlike you who would be hit in the face by facts and still be to stupid to recognize those.

Here is the real story about the De Jager injury from news24:-

"A shoulder injury will sideline Bulls captain Lood de Jager for the rest of the Super Rugby season, the Pretoria-based franchise said on Monday.

Originally, the forward was expected to be out of action for only two weeks after being forced to leave the field during a loss to the Jaguares in Argentina.

However, the injury proved more serious and he will have surgery on Tuesday and be out of action at least until the end of June.

"Lood will return only at the end of the Super Rugby season," confirmed Bulls doctor Herman Rossouw.

The Super Rugby season ends on July 6.

The prolonged absence of De Jager, 26, is a major setback for three-time former champions the Bulls, who have won two of their three Super Rugby matches this season. 

But Rassie Erasmus was a relieved South Africa coach after reports on Monday said the De Jager injury would also rule him out of the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan which starts in September

De Jager has won 38 Test caps and will be a strong contender for a Springboks starting place as they seek a third world title after triumphs in 1995 and 2007. 

The South African Test season begins on July 20 with a Rugby Championship match against Australia at Ellis Park in Johannesburg"

I am afraid I have to disappoint you and Silly Billy about your hopeful statement of D e Jager being out for the year,   He is likely to be back before the Rugby Champions Cup - which would mean that Mostert won't be selected again.    .   .

I see the requested clip is about as forth coming as the requested match 23 ... but then again what's new from ol Poepol.

He loves to fabricate ... he can be so dramatic when it comes to players he likes ... giving them all kinds of attributes, skill sets, even intellect ... where clearly none exist.

A doos of note ...  

Mostert is one of Rassie' favourites and will undoubtedly be in the WC squad ... he is a class act and may not be the type that some like but .. not physical enough blah, blah, blah ... but bear in mind that he's playing at 5, and isn't expected to be the bruiser of the tam. His line out skill set cannot be matched by anyone in South Africa.

The Lions have missed him big time ... not only for his line out skills but also for the incredible work rate he brings.

Gloucester is using Mostert at 7 and not as a lock - wonder why?   

Mostert is twice the "lock" wee matfiled ever was (Matfvled was a line out jumper and backline wannabee not a lock.. However give me a Lood any day. Nice big pacy genuine lock.

As for Du Toit one can safely say he is the best 7 in world rugby right now. Don't even think about him moving to lock other than in an emergency. One suspects Dr Moz is warming to D u Toit.

Be kind to poor Mozart - he is trying to get his head above the egg mountain he is covered by.  So be forgiving - he is beginning to regret that he was foolish for five years already.

Don't you understand English - Mozart burst out in joy when he claimed that De Jager is out for the year and he was joined in that by Silly Billy and Pakie.   It is terrible that some people rejoice about injury to players.  Be careful - you are very near to be shamed yourself.

Now your ignorance is just about total.   Knowledgeable people think that De Jager is a top class lock and Erasmus announced last year that his ideal lock combination would be Etzebeth and De Jager,   In the meantime the hate campaign against Du Toit went on overdrive and that is still ongoing at full pace - so a wonderful discovery of Mostert was engineered and all his limitations negated,   He has serious negatives as a lock - even Gloucester normally uses him as a 7 - not as a lock.

Dave is right - there is a structure of locks suitable for selection - so now we have a typical idiot coming up with an idiotic statement and calling for clarification - that reflects badly and indicates imbecility.   

So go and hide in the corner Dunce - you are too stupid to discuss anything on site,

You see, I get called out for hounding you, but here you pull out a blatant unprovoked lie about me. Show me where I "burst out in joy" about De Jager's injury.
