Seems like not all Saffas are convinced of his innocence going by
comments here and on SS...makes for interesting reading...
Love it GO Bismarck go and kick some but down in the cape
Yes and if it was a player from a other province then you cry babies sharks would have had a lot to say.
Ek kan nie wag om te sien hoe Etzebeth Bismark op sy agterend gaan laat sit nie.

This decision is making a further mockery of the rugby laws we have in places. We have had soooo much blatant incompetence of late that damages the image of this great sport. I am again tremendously disappointed and am at the point of discontinuing any involvement with the sport what-so-ever.

thats just not right... how do you
stamp on someone intentionally after you try to punch him? is this what sports is all about?
Des Pearce · Top Commenter
This is an appalling decision. All I can say is that if Bismark does something similar on Sat, then he gets a much heavier sanction like a 7 match ban for next season.

I wonder what game that judge footage came from because any man can see that that was no accident
but give Bismarck a change to get his but handed to him again by the perfect yet so young front row from the WP

great news, Etzebeth, Fourie and co. work on his nerves abit, he wont last the whole game! Its actualyl better news for WP than for the sharks, as they have to worry and hope he doesnt explode again!. Bissie is a great player but as with many before him, his disciplione always lets him down...common WP!!!

And if Butch james played, it could be 13...

Bismarck is another Bakkies, an undisciplined loose cannon. Great player that he is he will always remain a thug in my eyes.

What a load of rubbish. So the whole of the country has seen the stamping except Advocate André Oosthuizen... The video also have assistant referee Cobus Wessels, explaining in detail to the referee, what happened... http://www.supersport.com/rugby/article.aspx?Id=2161504 ..... You SIR are the weakest

..so why do I smell a dead rat here.......This so called judge just set a president for future hearings....wonder where he is from.......Bismarck did exactly the same thing that Rhodes were banned for one match....there is just too many "little" incidents of the ball......but good luck to Bismarck..now he will to face an Etzebeth coming down on him again..... in full cry....and if I can recollect the last encounter he came horribly short!!!!!!
This is judged just on the one angle I saw though, so I have no idea what part of the body was stepped on or if he gauged him or stepped downwards and then off

Whats the difference between this incident and Michael Rhodes' one? He should have gotten a week suspension. Any way, game on!
Jacques Van Den Wijngaerd · Top Commenter · Marketing at Graytec Pty Ltd
The difference is that Rhodes' suspension was based on him going onto the face if i remember correctly, or the throat ... Either way, its a more fair match up now anyway so in totality, rugby won the outcome not Bismarck!
Full strength WP vs full strength Sharks ... No-one could have asked for a better final. Both teams have played well this seasons and deserve to be in the final. May the best team win and lets hope for no cards so it can be 15 vs 15 for 80mins

Bismarck, hou jou koelkop en wys asseblief die Kommentators dat Scarra beslis nie die no3 haker in SA is nie.

Im a Sharks fan, and to be honest not sure how he got away with that, he clearly showed intent!

The Clip posted does not really show anything... go watch the match highlights on the specific time 3:16 - 3:30 http://www.supersport.com/rugby/currie-cup/video/286764 to get a better picture of the incident.
Randy Solomons · Top Commenter · Web Designer & Developer at DataTrac Software Solutions
Probably only let him go on this one because of what it would have taken out of the clash if he did not play. Unfair a little since he really did do it on purpose!
Shaheem Karriem · Grassy Park High
However Rany, he's 1 man. Seems the other 14 are not even worth while mentioning. Sharks get away with bad play since at least the last 20 years when they first won the Currie Cup, after 100 years... WP must just win them like they did in both pool matches
Steve van Rooyen · Top Commenter · Cape Peninsula University of Technology
Don't know how he got away with!
Shaheem Karriem · Grassy Park High
Steven, he got away coz he plays for the Sharks. Supposedly big fan base... that watch on TV at home coz the tank is ALWAYS empty

This is great news, now we can have near full strength teams contesting what should be an epic final in front of a packed stadium. No excuses from anyone, may the best team win. GO SHARKS
