BISMARCK !!............errrr BISMARCK.

Also, this thread was actually temporarily censored here in Qatar because it contains "hooker" in its url address lol... had to outsmart the ISP to find my way get here...keep pressing 'refresh', ah, the genius that I am...

How come Gatland chose Rory Best's wonky throwing ahead of Ross Ford?

When it comes to dodgy lineout throwing, no one beats Ross Ford.

 

[Jaguares]

1- Bismarck du Plessis
2- Rory Best
3- Adrian Strauss
4- Any of ABs

Rory has helped me to add much in the Fantasy, so I have a special appreciation for him.

Cheers

bismark is overrated

I agree, Although the question was who is the best Hooker in the world and he's pretty hard to go past. I just dont think he's that smart.

 

[Kapa O Pango]

Brian O'Driscoll.

Bismark by a mile.

Rory Best is overrated by a mile.

Bismark by a mile.

Rory Best is overrated by a mile.

but that's, like..way too much distance in one post.

 

[profitius]

William Servat by far. Now, seriously, we really miss him.

It must be one of the South Africans for me.

A few years back Servat was the best hooker in the world. Fantastic player!

1. Bismarck Du Plessis
2. Daylight
3. Daylight
4. Daylight
5. the Length of the street
6. One of the others, probably Andrew Hore or that French guy (Servat?)

EDIT: Not Servat. That guy with the Russian sounding name?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Szarzewski?
Hmm, big shout - I don't think he's particularly standout.


Hooker's a weird position in that few countries have a real standout option there.
Wales have Hibbard, who on his day would be up there amongst the top few.
Best is very good, too, but can flake terribly.

 

[j'nuh]

1. Bismarck du Plessis
2. Adriaan Strauss
3. Schalk Brits
4. Richardt Strauss
5. Chiliboy
6. Probably a South African

That's him.

OK, it might be a big call, but I can only go by what I have seen of him, which was

1. the French tour here this year, where he was clearly a better player than the other guy (Kayser?) and performed pretty well in a French outfit that didn't, and

2. for Racing in Top 14 this year.

We don't get much coverage of Top 14 here but what we do get often seems to involve Racing Metro and Clermont Auvergne (maybe there's a couple of fans in The Rugby Chanell's programming dept.)
