Bismarck IS a dirty player

Best hooker in the world but a huge liability. Forget about all the support he got for the All Black incident. I said then and I’ll say it again, if you behave like a thug you going to get some rough decisions because referees will not give you the benefit of the doubt. Ask a guy like Butch James – his tackling technique earned him a few cards he didnt deserve because even when he got it only slightly wrong it looked terrible.

Despite the public outcry a few weeks ago Bismarck again proved this weekend he IS a dirty player. And even if you are the best in the world one wonders if you should be selected if you are going to be a disciplinary risk, not to mention a terrible role model.
