Bakkies the enforcer

While some of his methods were questionable to some rugby fans the man was just like his nickname suggests a container or the enforcer to be exact. Bakkies relished the physicality of rugby and never meant anything personal when ever he got into a little tussle, more like one of those people who liked to sort his problems out on the pitch than off it. Never should have gotten banned in the british and irish lions series and it clearly showed how much the independent commissioners sometimes looked to target players like Bakkies.
