Lood de Jager was selected by both Rugby 365 and Planet Rugby in their teams of the week.   However, where the problems for Mozart and CC come in is their comments on him:-


Rugby 365


"On current form, he (De  Jager) is the best lock in South Africa at the moment. He was dominant in the line-outs again against the Sharks and his big body helped the Bulls pack in getting momentum in the wet conditions."
Planet Rugby

Lood de Jager (Bulls): The Springbok second-row led the Bulls' forward charge in a deserved win over the Sharks in Durban. De Jager delivered a superb all-round performance which is reminiscent of the form which saw him winning South Africa's Player of the Year award in 2015. Gained 20 metres against the Sharks and led the way on defence for the Bulls with a team-high 17 tackles. Comes in ahead of Tom Franklin of the Highlanders.

Mozart

One has to accept that you are a rugby illiterate and your comments are based entirely on BS,

It's not a matter of "freaking out", Mike.

It's more of shaking one's head in disbelief ... it's more of one coming to an understanding as to why SA rugby is where it is today.

In truth ... Lood is a weed.

Mike ... you should really try to develop your own thoughts on things. Every time the newspapers write a favourable article about a player you buy into it.

They were raving about Kolisi last year ... remember? He apparently established himself as a rugby god against the French ... and you totally bought into it. Remember? He was your openside flank in every team you posted on here.

De Allende and Jessse Kriel have also seen some favourable print the last few weeks ... and what do you do? ... you buy into the whole hyped up exaggeration. Hook ... line ... and sinker ... in fact fishing boat too.

Beast was also a favourite of yours. That is till you actually opened your eyes and saw him for what he is.

So no, Mike ... I am not freaking out at all. It's this kind of nonsense that sets us apart. You are spoon fed by the media ... and I prefer to see it for what it is.

I am not a fan, but Lood is playing some really good rugby at the moment. We have some decent depth at lock at the moment. Lood, PSDT, Mostert, Etzebeth, Snyman plus number of others. If only our stocks at center were as promising.

M0ostert's performances hasve been average throughout the year - while De Jager is one of the top performers in Super Rugby - the three best locks being Retallick, Du Toit and De Jager, with Moster not being in the top 8.

Problem is I watch games with my eyes open - being fair at all times in performance assessments and not clouded by prejudice.     That is why I note the actual performances of players, whether I like the players or not.  

Mostert - like Du Toit - was used in the number 7 position this year as well.   Mostert was average - while Du Tot was good.

I regard Mostert as a good Super Rugby player who did nothing much in the tests he played in  - I consequently believe he is not capable of taking the step up to test level.
