According to the latest news Mohoje is out of the third test on Saturday. Although I sympathize with every injured player - this one is no loss to the team. He was weak in the first test and before injury made two major bugger-ups in the second test,
I believe Jen-Luc du Preez will replace him at 7 - after a very good performance on Saturday.
There is no nes about a replacement player being brought in.

thanks for the update Mick.
Before I comment on his "on field" play, I'd first like to thank God for keeping him in good stead. He looked like he was in a terrible way after he took that knock.
Thank you G0D. Amen
Now, to carry on with your point,
yes, on field he certainly is not worthy of starting for the Boks.
Yes, he is a fabulous chap and a good Super XV player. But he is a proper token player that would not qualify to play for the Azzuri, had he had Italian citizenship.
JLdP is the answer. Hard, robust, smart and pacy for a blindsider.
Lets us not forget about J Kriel.
He is our full time answer. Probably as skillful as McCaw, but a lot quicker.

What knock.
Did the injury Oupa sustained not take place when fell backward and his head hit the dirt and not from the initial tackle?
Irrespective JLdP really has it all and what a difference he made on the field.

Sorry he is injured but the fact is JLdP is a much better player.

The irony was that when Mohoje got injured, he also injured Picamoles- perhaps the best French player. It was like swapping a pawn for a rook in Chess. Piccamoles went off sometime later.
Decent enough player- but JLDP brings some much-needed physicality.
Mohoje seemed to be also improving his work rate.
However, M ohoje needs to work on his tackling technique which seems somewhat clumsy in his approach and a danger to himself and others.
