Springbok backrow's season is over after just one game
By Online Editors
The Toyota Cheetahs and the Springboks have been hit by a blow as it revealed that backrow Oupa Mohoje's season is over.
The injury occurred during Munster's thrashing of the Cheetahs in the opening round of the Guinness PRO14 last weekend.
A club statement read: "Mohoje has been sidelined after suffering an ACL tear in his right knee in last week’s match against Munster. He is expected to be out of action for 9 months.
"Gerhard Olivier has joined the team in Swansea, Wales ahead of the Guinness PRO14 round 2 match against Ospreys on Saturday."
Six-try Munster thrashed the Cheetahs 38-0 to begin the campaign in style, but more than the Cheetahs ego was damaged.
Mohoje - who has 19 Test caps for the Springboks - is unlikely to feature again this season and will face a battle to make the Springbok World Cup squad.
It was announced just last week that Mohoje will be leading the Cheetahs for the season.

Liverpool? OK, whatever you say 🤷♂️ You spelt Syringeboks wrong, need to calm down a bit and wipe the tears from your eyes.

All three were well on track to being All Blacks. They simply decided it was smarter to take the money right now rather than slog on for another 3 or 4 years waiting for their opportunity to line up.
Many AB quality players have not even got the chance to earn a cap for heavens sake, it is simply as you suggest elsewhere, better utilization of global talent to have them qualify for another nation.
The only problem is that the ABs get all the best players, mostly because they pay more, and the island nations, even the home nations, just get those that can't make it or want a bit more limelight.
