1. Marx (Although in 2019 he was not superhuman, but did improve during the world cup)2. Bismark (Although he had discipline problems) 3. Uli Schmidt (Although I only saw the end of his career, when he spent much of his time on the wing)4. John Smit5. Adrian Strauss. (Although he lost the plot towards the end of his career). 6. Bongi.

Bismarck had weaknesses. Poor hands, poor lineout thrower, upright body meant he was ineffective as a ball carrier in contact and he could be beaten around the fringes. He was good at the breakdown if he got his hands on the ball, very strong and hard to dislodge. In fact, dislodging him often meant you helped him present the ball to teammates more quickly. He popped up for tries at his moments. Was a strong scrummager. His discipline was poor though. For several seasons he ranked in the top 3 for turnovers conceded at super rugby level. The version of Bismarck I most liked was in the 2015 Super rugby season; he added the offload to his game midway through the season which actually amplified his ball carrying. He was strong enough to stand in contact and present the ball quite easily. His body position at the breakdown d technically better, aside from the Reds game where he was rolled over like a turtle too often. If he d more open to coaching and had better guidance we'd have seen more from him. He was technically flawed but freakishly strong.
