[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 593396, member: 40658"] I mention Butch, as he has had numerous yellows against him for stupid play in test rugby, and is on the same habitual level as Nonu. Bismarck has played 52 tests. He was a substitute in 22 of those tests, and started 30 of them. I can't find any stats about how many yellows and red cards he has recieved at test level, but I would be surprized if it is more than 5 cards. So that is why I question your argument here. Bismarck, although he's a physical player, he's hardly a thug, and always play within the rules. He's the type of guy that will punish himself for letting down the team. He doesn't "attract many yellow cards" as you put it. And I'm sure many NZ'ers would even agree with me that comparing Nonu to Bismarck is not a fair comparison. [/QUOTE]
