Maybe he can find some form over there, because he has been rubbish this year! Another very important point, he has been overplayed as it is, and now in the time he should be resting , he is planning on playing more! Not wise in my opinion.

Agreed Blue, he has been below his high standard and a rest is what he needs

The problem with Bismarck is he is on the wrong side of 30 already. That is proably why he is not the hooker he used to be. He should have taken a rest - but fifty thousand or more pound-sterling witll come in handy in his case.
Jannie is likely to start his medical career after the WC next year - wish it was earlier - and Bismarck is likely to go to Europe for a year or two - and then return to farming. The Du Plessis's are wealthy and not in chronic need of money in any event.

Bismarck has been no different this year than last year. Off the bench he is simply much more effective. With the rest of the pack lacking punch it isn't so easy for him. He needs that momentum to be effective. Particularly given his body position and footwork in contact.

Card your comments re forwards add weight to my concern about whe ther the abs will be able to hold a first string England pack. I seriously doubt it.
