Thomas du Toit set to become one of the heaviest Springboks ever
By Ian Cameron
Thomas 'Tank' du Toit is set to become one of the heaviest Springboks ever after he was called in to provide frontrow cover this week.
Du Toit is set to join the tour squad today in Cardiff and if he is capped will become one of heaviest Springboks of all time. According to his Shark's profile, the 136kg prop is a kilogram heavier than both Os du Randt and Rudi (Vleis) Visagie, both who weighted in at 135kg, and six kilos heavier than 130kg Ollie Le Roux.
Tendai Mtawarira sustained a groin injury in Saturday's 35-6 victory over Italy in Padua, and while the experienced front ranker will be afforded the maximum time to recover, it was decided to call up Du Toit as extra cover.
Meanwhile, the Springbok squad arrived in Cardiff on Sunday following their victory over Italy. The match in Cardiff is the final Test of the Springboks' November Tour.

Wow.... Just wow!
Eben managed to make more meters and average more meters per carry than both Barrett and Vaai in both games and played fewer minutes.
Eben also made double digit tackles in Capetown and actually had 3 more tackles than both players. plus he had a higher completion rate than vaai and equal to Barrett in Joberg. Yes he was manhandled by a 113kg hooker but I believe Barrett was sat down by a 75kg winger. Which is more acceptable?
What BS about Kolbes line break completion. So Dmacs, and Will Jordan and right have far more line breaks... that must mean the ABs and wallabies have out scored every team... oh wait. In half as many games in the TRC Kolbe had 1 less clean break than Will Jordan and topped the list for defenders beaten with 21, next best was 17 and it wasn't DMac, wright or Jordan.
