Bismarck is useless, gets into trouble in every test. He is the Danny Grewcock of South African, rugby, neigh, worse then that! Everybody ******* about Bakkies, but Bismarck has the worst discipline of any Bok I have ever seen in my life. Not smart enough to stay out of trouble. He offers far less than he contributes negatively to the team. Bismarck is not Bok material. This S14 showed that quite clearly.

South Africa, unlike Australia for example, are in the fortunate position where we do not have to rush back many players from injury, especially at hooker where we have allot of quality depth at present.

What Australia would do to have the quality of Gary Botha, Tiaan Liebenberg, Adriaan Struass, Deon Fourie and Craig Burden to call on.

some breaking news

Mapoe saga far from over. Apparently he will rather retire than play for cheetahs!

And talk that some bok seniors are putting pressure on management to call mapoe up into bok team as he is so highly rated.

Never a dull moment in SA Rugby.

@OhYeah(OhYeah)-13: only joking around mate. Seriously Bismarck should just wait for the EOYT, cause I would rather the abs play a full strength boks including Du Preez that way the abs can see where they are at come next year.

I say play him for next sat, that way he can get injuired again and hopefully worse, that way the abs wont have to worry about him next year

John Smit needs his vice captain to start playing a bigger role… And I dont think it should be Matfield, considering his rugby career is over after the world cup.

Having someone like Bismark and not playing him for more than forty, is denying the team to be at full force. Hopefully by now moving Smit to prop should not be considered as an option.

The boks need to start getting use to being confident on the field without Smit on it. Lets not make Smit an excuse when we lose with him on the or off the field.

If he’s fit and at his best play him. But the boks need to know that there is someone they can play for if Smit is not around.

And I don’t mean Barney.

He also needs a very long rest.

Let the other teams go get the ball instead of waiting (not very long) for one of those 2 to turn it over.

2 + 3 should not be rushed at all. They should give him a long rest. About 5 seasons.

Then this unproductively aggressive, penalty generating, movement wrecking, selfish glory boy won’t put a much better player out of business and mess the Sharks up generally.

The heading should read Bismarck shouldn’t be rushed.

You use “must” when it’s obligatory to do something.
You use “should” when it’s better to do something but you don’t really have to.

There should be a clear plan for Juan Smith as well.

And John Smit.

Awesome player, BdP.

Gives away alot of pens/YCs tho. I think Safas have another word for that.

Was I dreaming or did I hear somewhere John Smit hit the second most rucks or second most ball carries behind Spies??

Bismarck should only play again for the Boks on the EOYT. He and chilliboy should rotate on the EOYT. So long he can gain confidence in the currie cup.
