Bismarck on his Brother, the Boks and Brutal Hits

This week, we welcome World Cup winner - and one of the most feared front-rowers in rugby history - Bismarck du Plessis! Bismarck dives deep into the legendary 2009 Lions Tour and relives the moment of that tackle on Dan Carter (“I’m going to kill that man!”). He gives incredible insight into the Springboks’ scrum dominance and the genius of Rassie Erasmus, explaining how Rassie’s methods have helped build one of the greatest dynasties in the game. He also reflects on his special bond with his brother Jannie du Plessis, as well as his fiercely competitive nature with his kids: “I don’t let them beat me.” 00:00 – 🛞 Sponsored by Continental Tyres02:07 – 😳 Continental Tyres Grip Strength 03:23 – 🔄 R360 Update 17:52 – 🇿🇦 South Africa’s Scrum Power 33:19 – 🐄 Life on the Farm 38:16 – 💙 Brotherly Bond 39:35 – 💔 Tragic Loss and Resilience 46:21 – 🦁 The Epic 2009 Lions Series 53:27 – 💥 That Tackle on Dan Carter 🚴 Jannie’s Cycling Heroics: https://theyridealong.co.za/donations/ 📗 The Good, The Bad & The Rugby: Unloaded is now available:https://lnk.to/GBRUnlocked/waterstones Learn more about your ad choices.
