Franco Mostert vs B&I Lions 2021 | The Workhorse

I don't think there's any player with a higher work rate than Franco Mostert, the guys does a machine on the field. You could make a strong argument that he was the best player for South Africa during the series.
What impresses the most is how consistent he is, week in and week out you get the same great performances from him. Any coach would love to have 15 players with the work ethic of Franco.

Franco is a top tier Athlete. Never slacks!! His attitude is that of a proper professional. His work ethic is unmatched. And this Yster is never injured.

[@mromegakiwi4952]

Imagine him on one flank and PSDT on the other. Would be a nightmare for the other team 😂

[@mondlimchunu8489]

Sous is an absolute machine. So chuffed he is finally gaining recognition. He is a tireless grafter who leaves it all on the park, every single time. It's a sight to behold.

[@warakibho4196]

Tha universal soldier as south Africa we are blessed to have such man representing us. This guys is humble gets the job done everyday. He puts his body on the line like he has spares.

[@salmonvanderwath6585]

This dude is so underrated!

[@bok500]

Can't praise this gentle giant enough. Never injured always 100% plus. You go to guy. I honestly can't find anything wrong with Generaal nie. He is with out of a doubt a living hero.

[@pierre2898]

Thank you for this video. This guy is one of the people that work the hardest, but is not often spoken of. He just goes about his job quietly. The real ones see him though.

[@ZambeziKid]

Franco is the unsung hero of the current crop. Superb work rate, hard as nails, flexible, and hardly ever makes a mistake or gives pens. Loving him.

[@theconsigliere6329]

Having a 5 that works this hard frees up Eben and PSDT to do what they do. Imagine Victor Mayfield working this hard. I'm longing for a series where we will have Eben, RG, PSDT, LOOD, Franco all fit. Nobody can touch us at lock stocks.

[@kgotsomaphike8132]

We had it at the World Cup. It was awesome to watch

[@thembinkosingcetane1567]

He gave me goosebumps playing 7

[@steventheron1165]

Not kneeling on anyone's throat, protesting or biting. He just plays the game hard and that's it.

[@95VJay]

3:19 Look how smart Mostert is to interupt that maul from going straight forward. Brilliant body positioning. He's definitely not just a workhouse, but also a smart rugby-player. LOL only to even do the turnover 10 sec later! Player of the series for me

[@qaphelandabankulu3864]

He hits those rucks and they stay hit!

[@AMS-1]

Wow what an athlete. Great series Franco. Keep making us proud. GOD bless you with many more tests for The Springboks!

[@dq6365]

Mostert was a toiler throughout the series. He plugged holes, cleaned out, made tackles time and time again. His work ethic and output was incredible and he was my pick of the SA squad. His humility was clear for all to appreciate. Thank you for sharing the bloke deserves the credit.

[@SafferPOV]

And he's virtually unbreakable. Seldom is out injured, in fact I can't remember when last that happened

[@jonathandavis8599]

Never

[@louisvanzyl9560]

He is a true gentleman off the field also. Giant on field, gentleman off field. A true super human

[@cullyx2913]

👍

[@dcmj3798]

we miss him at Gloucester, love to see him getting recognition

[@jksinorbit]

If this guy was British they would be writing weekly articles about him being the best in the world... just like all that kak we hear about Itoje. I would take Sous any day.

[@gazatk3466]

Agree he’s levels ahead of Itoje

[@colettemoolman4410]

Now that put a huge smile on my face 😁

[@tasanalytics]

Franco put a smile on all our faces so the least he deserves is a tribute video!😂

[@nigel8484]

Can we just acknowledge that we are absolutely blessed with our whole team from front to back. But this guy made a believer out of me in the RWC '19

[@LuisAndrade-vg1hf]

First time I see Franco Mostert playing open side flanker ! Good choise !!! 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@shawnlarsen4753]

Dude's special. He'll be around for a while.

[@BrunoDECOURCY]

Mostert and Etzebeth, what a second line!!!! SA has an incredible team!!!!

[@davidhughes8795]

Massive credit to SA for getting the win after having played virtually no rugby! Thought this guy was fantastic, worked tirelessly and a real nuisance.

[@juliansteyn7050]

Thanks David. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to play the lions again even if it meant no crowds ☹️.

[@xpat73]

Lions fan - very good player. Big man with a great engine.

[@aarontimbwah9626]

Mr consistency. Totally underrated His hard work always goes unnoticed

[@stevep347]

He is the unsung hero of the Springbok team.

[@dicsonace219]

our proud boys put their bodies on the line for the sport and all these sore losers can say is springboks is boring, what a shame it is to be a sore loser. pure weakness of the heart they have. and to our proud boys thank you and keep up the good work.

[@SARUGBY101]

Franco is such monster on the field 😍💟

[@cpkemp5709]

MVP of the series

[@kristian762]

I'm so bloody proud of that man

[@dirkpretorius4314]

Brilliant! Franco!

[@simongb7897]

Great the way he keeps the legs pumping offensively it's not just about the tackle and pushing the ball carrier back it's about driving driving through and forward so you are able to turn the ball over.

[@joubert45]

What a player

[@James.Gnostic.Galahad]

The difference between Franco and Pieter Steph is that Pieter Steph scores as well but both are very good players.

[@Jacques.Smith_]

I see we have a new rugby fan...the game for men

[@cullyx2913]

Franco and Eben were my players of the series.

[@ethanharrison9379]

You can’t fault Franco. Wish him a all the best. Absolute soldier in the art of collision sport

[@ZALevi]

The silent warrior there's nothing overly flashy about his gameplay but he gets the job done every time. Another great video mate!

[@tasanalytics]

Couldn't agree more! much like Willie for the backline!

[@gideonjessie4703]

Absolute workhorse

[@rodrigoaspiotti361]

What a great player!

[@iceman777sa]

Man Sous is an absolute machine. With real impact

[@fomofud9479]

Unsung hero!

[@RonaldBMorgan]

The fact that we have Eben, Franco, PSDT, Siya & Duane in our pack is unimaginable 😭😭🔥🔥

The beast

[@etiennecfourie777]

Go Franco go!!

[@jacquie212]

He is the next Danie Russouw. When people say rugby is a 23 man team, having this guy is what makes it true. He would be the best 7 in south Africa if not for psdt or the best 5 if not for lood. Insane to be able to have this much talent on your bench.

[@jacquie212]

Franco, the Monster...!

[@7m226]

Franco MONSTER !

[@johanneswensel1503]

Franco doen so voort ou maat jy is n yster baie mooi gedoen groete vir jou

[@jldp24]

The workhorse of our pack. I woukd keep him at flank and cover for the lock. Rg Snyman lood and Eben are all heavy and well over 2m. Franco is around 106kg and 197cm. He has the work rate for a flank. Backup to PsDt..or start at lock..bomb squad member..we are spoilt for choice

[@joseignaciosalamanca2500]

You dont always need just enforcers. Does not matter he is not that big and heavy, big enough for the position and tackles, rucks and runs more than any other second SA has. He is always solid and also a great lineout jumper so i would keep him as second row as it is like having 4 flankers. Agree RG or lood may be good impact players to bring physicality to a tired team.

[@jldp24]

@@joseignaciosalamanca2500 lood is first choice. Mostert is not outrigt first choice with psdt..rg and lood in thr picture. Also in your argument you make it sound like Rg and Lood only offer the enforcer role. Lol

[@FundiCrypto]

Hugely underrated player

[@niconamibia2456]

Staaldraad. In profesionele sport moet jy partykeer n trappie opvat buite jou gemaksone. Hy het dit met grasie gedoen Well done

[@nomad8493]

Him and Eden make a good combination at 2nd row.

[@seruvakawaletabua1031]

High work rate. SA is blessed with players like Mostert.

[@baudenbarrett9311]

Mostert is a Monster

[@Hans._A._Pils]

Such a workrate

[@roostermike]

Football players take note!

[@craiggomez8085]

at 2.43 he gets up from tackling a playa and straight he goes in to make another tackle lol

[@peterharry6422]

If any of the bok forwards could offload in the tackle it would be a try every time they are in the 22

[@johanvanzyl8479]

YSTER!!!

[@etiennegreyling6190]

Sous jys n yster!

[@mathieubethtan2921]

Typical south african workhorse. That’s what make them world class. Not surprise he will be slated for no 7 jersey

[@francovdmerwe5211]

GO CPM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@elduderino3236]

Super-human work rate.

[@StevenBenjaminAuthor]

I think he deserved the title Man of the series over Itoje, did the same job, but then added to it with the positional switch midway through the series

[@ruaanheunis2596]

Itoje id B&I man of the series. Boks have not named one

[@StevenBenjaminAuthor]

@@ruaanheunis2596 oh, was not aware that that's how it worked. But they broadcasting it like it's official

[@penilizer5179]

Itoje would be hailed the best rugby player ever if he played anywhere close to Mostert. Poms love upspeaking their shit.

[@nevillelamberti]

The fittest player I've ever seen.

[@mathieubethtan2921]

all of them are. The entire forward pack

[@gonzalvedecordoue5486]

Franco Mostert is not the biggest or the tallest but he is the ultimate gladiator.

[@eiremike1]

Mossie die ysterrrrr!

[@peterdawson3428]

Only has one gear and thats overdrive.an absolute Trojan on defence and Mr reliable when someone gets injured and he has to play out of position.

[@reigns77.]

Lions should be disbanded ...No guts . They don't have the power for top international play.. Can't wait to see proper rugby with All blacks and south Africa !!!
