The bit that made me doubt this was the fact he is still under
contract for next season, but then the following popped into my
head.....
- If we buy out his contract does that also come out of the cap
or not as he is coming from overseas??
- If the answer to the above is yes, if he were to join as a
Marquee player, that would not matter as any payments regarding
him are out of the cap (even a fee we would have to pay)??

Given the size of him, he is one of the few players in world
rugby who could replace the Robshaws... It would be a superb
signing and great for our EQP back rowers to learn from.

It seems that Louw was in contract for next year with the
Stormers. I am not sure if we paid for his release but
potentially the same could apply to du Toit.

I'm sure he would be a great signing but do we really want to be
the South African Harlequins?

If we get to sign players of that quality, I don't care where
they come from! As long as they're not Welsh... (joke!)

No we don't want to be known as SA Harlequins. But he would be a
great signing. Full stop. I don't mind having a few Boks in the
squad, they generally have good mental attitude. And Wilco
sounds a good signing too. But du Toit doesn't sound like a done
deal to me. If he does come over to south west London though, he
would need to be reminded that he follows in the illustrious
footsteps of one former club captain and club legend, Andre Vos.
Glad to see Gussy name checked him in his tribute to Robshaw.
Vos brought Robbo through and showed him "how to put his head
where it hurts." Hopefully, whoever replaces Robbo will do the
same with one our our academy lads?

Getting him in will be a massive statement of intent.
I think for next season a young but decent scrum half to push DC
is actually the next most important thing. Landajo has improved
but we need to build for the future
