Bismarck du Plessis' illustrious career made its final tackle in Cape Town on Saturday and the adamantine hooker will be remembered as one of South Africa's very best.

He started his career playing for the Cheetahs in the Free State before moving to Durban, where he helped the Sharks to two Currie Cup titles. He enjoyed 10 years at the Shark Tank, where he often packed down alongside his brother and fellow Bok, Jannie.

About to walk away from rugby before Jake White called him with a last-minute offer, Du Plessis arrived in Pretoria from Montpellier in 2021 after six successful years in France. The abrasive front-ranker played 108 games for Montpellier, scoring 27 tries, and was part of the squad that twice won the European Challenge Cup .

His leadership and mentorship to young rakes Jan-Hendrik Wessels and Johan Grobbelaar was invaluable to the team, and the 38-year-old’s presence in the Bulls’ squad will be sorely missed. Bismarck will be remembered as some of the best in the business, and his legacy as one of the greatest to ever grace the game will live on.
