Tweet above says:

“Unconfirmed but strong rumour is that Malcolm Marx’s #RWC2023 is over.

The Springboks hooker has reportedly torn his ACL. 🤕 #RSA”

[stodders]

Massive news. Best hooker in the world right now for me.

[taniwharugby]

Poor bugger

[Machpants]

Even neinberassie realised he must start

[booboo]

Bummer for Malcolm.

But every team has to deal with injuries.

[booboo]

How many hookers they got in the squad?

Is there the opening for Pollard yet?

Edit: probably not. Still got to have 3 x No.2s

[mantissanet]

@booboo Bongi, Dweba and Fourie. Statement says they’re not calling anybody up now.

That's pretty callous. Its sucks for him and it sucks for us all when one of the players who most people would put in a world 23 doesn't play

Pftttt. I’m sure there’s not much sympathy on SA message boards about Jordie, Shannon, Sam and Tyrell.

Really? How?

[Machpants]

Pftttt. I’m sure there’s not much sympathy on SA message boards about Jordie, Shannon, Sam and Tyrell..

Oh so they're out off the RWC...

Whatever makes you guys feel good

Weird.

Express sympathy for injured player, and make statement about how team needs to deal with it.

Strange strange reaction.

World Cup Derangement Syndrome gets to us all.

That’s a lot of words man, why didn’t you just say “booze”

[Frank]

Perfect chance to bring Pollard in.

Haven’t suffered tournament ending, career impacting injuries though.

@booboo’s right though: reality of the tournament for each team.

Cursing Fourie’s jobs for boys squad selection again. Means we can’t bring Pollie in because we’ve got to call up a real hooker.

[OomPB]

Fourie will be a success in 2. They can call up Pollard but then Libbok has been great so far.

[DaGrubster]

@OomPB

If you only have 2 hookers and 1 gets injured at the captains run (like Cane did for the ABs)

Who becomes your bench hooker then?
