Lood must choose between Bulls and Lions

Cape Town - Springbok lock Lood de Jager has played his last Super Rugby match for the Cheetahs and will play for either the Lions or Bulls next season.

De Jager, who picked up a calf injury playing for the Springboks in the June Test window, is currently undergoing a rehabilitation programme and will not feature in the remainder of the Super Rugby competition.

His last Super Rugby game for the Cheetahs was against the Stormers at Newlands on May 28.

His contract with the Cheetahs expires at the end of this year’s Currie Cup and he has confirmed that he will leave the Bloemfontein franchise.

In an in interview with Netwerk24, De Jager said he would like to go to a franchise capable of winning trophies.

“There are lots of things that still need to fall in place. Nothing has been finalised yet. But it’s between the Bulls and Lions so we’ll have to wait and see how the negotiations develop.”

The 23-year-old De Jager, who boasts 20 Test caps, is expected to be fit for the Rugby Championship.

Oaks w hat an embarrassment of riches we have at lock right now!

Mostert, who has been the heart and soul of the Lions tight five and is highly regarded as a potential future Springbok, was unveiled on the Lyon website as part of their 12 new recruits for the upcoming season which starts later this year.

The SA Rugby Player of the Year for 2015 is currently playing his trade in Bloemfontein, where he has played in 40 matches for the Toyota Cheetahs in the Vodacom Super Rugby tournament thus far. The 23-year old also has 20 test matches for the Springboks to his credit.

Commenting on the signing, BBC High Performance Manager, Xander Janse van Rensburg, expressed his delight with the signing.

"This is great news for us, not only because Lood is one of the best locks in the world, but also the fact that he sees the Vodacom Bulls as a team that will enhance his career and ambitions. This is a compliment to what we are trying to achieve and a massive boost to our vision to build something special again in Pretoria," Janse van Rensburg said.

There are too many amateur rugby oaks commenting here who lack rugby acumen and don't know much about locks!!  Some actually rate that serial flop wee matfiled! 105kg. Need I say more!   Bwhahahaahahahaha

The Lions however would be a far better bet for Lood as i pointed out above.

Oh I see the ignorance on Lood continues......here are the facts....in the QF against Wales, Lood completely out played Charteris.....in the semi against NZ, he outplayed Whitelock who in the whole game managed all of zero metres.....these are the facts.

Lood was unbelievable in the WC, his overall stats in the comp were in the top 5 for everything.......this from a lock......hype my arse......fuck you would have to be unbelievably stupid to concluded that Lood was anything but brilliant and walked SA player of the year with ease.

Its a pity he is going to the Bulls as he is not needed there given they have superstars in the making in Jenkins and RG Snyman

It would have made more sense for him to move to the Lions who are losing Mostert
