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 (โ€œIโ€™m going to kill that man!โ€). He gives incredible insight into the Springboksโ€™ scrum dominance and the genius of Rassie Erasmus, explaining how Rassieโ€™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: โ€œI donโ€™t let them beat me.โ€
