Mostert

Mostert is strong enough, and has the second highest volume of tackles, minus the porous misses of the Steph. Mostert is twice as strong as the flaccid Lood. 

Make me biatch.

A poor man’s Victor Matfield…..Mostert a Victor Matfield for the common man? Yes, spot on….not as regal, but on the job every second of the game.

He has a much lower production rate than other locks and aside from that a defense liability as well.    They need more physical locks than Mostert can produce - somebody that can force carries and not capable to do that.       

Production? Who are you to talk of production when Steph has so little? Don't make me laugh dear boy. 

Lood is a liability, can't even carry simple pick and drive, or a simple basic carry into a back. Gets splattered. Not Lomp, but Limp. Mostert makes his stops and makes his carries. 

"he carries through contact"

Boy the great Erasmus has missed all these obvious points.

Mostert is not a first choice look. FACT

He lacks physicality. Then you have Kwagga who at 8 is a sick joke.

Had Vermuelen been playing together with Snyman at lock there is no ways the Lions would have won.

Rassie's RWC  pack was superb. FACT. it was dominant.

The Org is becoming a laughing stock on this board and mozzzz has simply lost his marbles 

Would I be mistaken in saying that Mostert has been on the winning end of more games than any other SA lock still playing?

If that's the case then he's either very lucky or some people here are quite wrong about the man.

Honestly though (All other SA locks < Sny man)

He's a lucky guy, old Mostert. 

It's not me that is stupid. It's Akker, Swys and Rassie

No credible lifeform can criticise the physicality of Mostert and praise the total no show of Lood. That's the end of the discussion. Lood is a flat tire on the Bok machine. 

Lood can't reliably carry into contact against a small back. End of discussion. Everytime you need him to be secure, he fails. He is very weak for his sizs. Very unathletic. 

So if Mostert gets injured in minute 2, we can expect Lomp to play for what….30 minutes? Hilariously stupid. Mostert is in there because Rassie (we all know Nienaber doesn’t have a vote) wants him above Lomp.

I mean you yourself chose Lomp for this test and you were convinced Rassie was going to pick him.

Case closed

He preferred Mostert all the way through the ABs game at the WC. Foolishly decided  he needed Lomp, but kept Mostert in the mix.

Fortuitously Vunipola splattered Lomp early in the WC final when England were well on top. Getting Mostert in there empowered the goal line stand.

Now with Lomp playing a quarter of the game last week he still doesn’t select the wet noodle. Not surprising given he got driven back once and lost the ball backwards once for a net negative 11 metres.

Frankly he probably shouldn’t even be on the bench and clearly is not the preferred lock.

Lood clearly is not ready. Finally some sense. Lood has never been ready for this level. Mostert was good and saved the Boks when the pressure was on. Mostert is one of those plays who keeps the Boks from buckling completely. 

Mostert weighs in at 112 kg. Pretty light. He is a hard grafter and certainly a lot better than that 103kg or was it 108 kg backline wannabe loafer pencil thin wee matfiled. Biggest con artist ever.

Its amatter of striking the correct balance for a Bok pack. A Bok pack must dominate. That is our competitive advantage.

Now when you play Kwagga Smith at 95 kg, Siya Kolisi at 105kg and Mostert at 112 kg you chances of having a dominant pack  are slim or next to nothing. 

Steph Du Toit I see weighs in at 115 kg and is a powerhouse mobile number 7 - best in word player. He debulked to play as a loosie. Was 120Kg.

By the way Malherbe at 130kg according to the Stormers website is overweight. He should be 124Kg.

I see Wiese is 110kg a good size for a number 8 - lets hope he doesnt lose his rag and do something silly. He needs to play an important part in the aerial battle. Kolbe is being targeted.

Vermuelen is superb under the high ball and know exactly where to be.

Could the Org stop being ridiculous about everything.

Thanks You are setting Moz a very bad example and egging him on to lower hights!

Lomp’s total WC playoff ball carrying, including Wales, Japan and England….11 runs for 10 metres. No wonder Erasmus decided losing Lomp was losing nothing and opted for Mostert’s superior open field tackling, lineout play and rugby IQ.

I agree HasBeen…Dud Toit is definitely the  the ‘best in word’ player. Nobody has been more hyped. I mean old Dave actually said elsewhere that Kolisi was by far our best loosie last Saturday. Hilarious!

No we lost the first test because Dud Toit gave up 3 penalties…the last one which put us 4 points down with little time left.

Kwagga was vastly more impactful than Kolisi. One Kolisi run, that's where his stats end. What of possession in congested physical areas? Kolisi can't make meaningful contributions. Worst Bok 6 I have literally ever seen. 

Kolisi literally dis appears for long passages in the game and occasionally appears for one off contributions. It would be interesting to have a camera on this guy for the whole game. He’s the UFO of rugby players.

Kwagga actually made more metres than Kolisi. I neglected to mention that. 

Just watched the first 15 minutes of the A match. Mostert cleaned Itoje onto his back and a few minutes later pulled off a classical I turnover. 

Dud Toit never does either….he is literally a zero on the deck.

Absolutely amazing in the modern game a loosie who literally can’t fetch,

I can’t recall ever seeing Dud pull off a turnover.
