On the For The Love Of Rugby podcast, Young jokingly said Du Toit scoring a hat-trick as a prop was “a disgrace”.
He added that Du Toit would be a massive loss for Bath and the Premiership when he returns to the Sharks at the end of the season.
Ahead of the match, former England and Bath great Jeremy Guscott told PlanetRugby: “Thomas must be the most consistent performer I’ve seen. Martin Johnson never had a poor game. I don’t think Thomas has either.”
