At least Nortje has put on a kg or two and is far more skilful than Mostert ever was
At least he is on record saying he is trying to bulk up
He would not make my squad until he hit 120kg - Ruben v Heerden is far better and by next WC JF v Heerden will own the Bok No5 jersey
Nortje had a good game. He is also a player than can go for 80 minutes. He is NO DEI selection.
Mostert was a fine Sprinbok. He did ten times more than Kolisi who was a passenger in almost every test.
We all know it’s true
Mostert is a physical and is not a skilful player that makes his lack of grunt excusable
A Bok lock needs to be physical like Bakkies, failing which he needs to be a skilful athlete which is what Matfield was.
Mostert is neither
The ultimate locks are Eben and RG who are both physical and skilful
Kolisi is twice the player powder puff has ever been
Making process tackles and taking line out ball is not the measure of a Bok lock because that’s all Mostert can do

There always has to be space for one thin person in the team....
It seems Mosterd will not make the next World Cup, but Rassie has a plan...
