Nizaam Carr quits Wasps for a return to Super Rugby
By Online Editors
Nizaam Carr is back in Super Rugby after the back row decided to take up the challenge of becoming part of the Jake White revolution at the Bulls. The 29-year-old has spent the last three seasons playing for Wasps in the Gallagher Premiership.
However, having made his initial splash in the game playing for the Stormers and Western Province, he has now opted to return to South Africa to put to use what he has learned in Coventry in the hope of potentially resurrecting a five-cap Springboks career where he was last capped in November 2016.
“Nizaam needs little introduction and I’m happy that he has decided to continue his career with the Bulls,” said White on the same day another Springbok, winger Cornal Hendricks, agreed on a contract extension.
“His ability to perform under pressure will only benefit the franchise while his experience will be used to mentor the younger loose forwards in the squad as well. He has done well in England and it is great to have his talent back on South African soil again,” said White.
In their statement announcing the signing of Carr, the Bulls described him as “an uncompromising and hard as nails No8 who can pack down on either side of the scrum with his versatility, coupled with his insatiable ability on the field, making the Springbok an asset in any squad.
“Carr has certainly been rewarded in silverware for his deeds on the field as he helped Western Province to two Currie Cup titles in 2014 and 2017 after winning the Varsity Cup title with the University of Cape Town in 2011.
“He then joined the Wasps in the English Premiership where he quickly became a fan favourite and flourished on the heavier fields while adding different elements to his overall skillset. He returns to South Africa having unfinished business with the Springboks as he would ultimately want to add to his five appearances.”

My name is Amelia Jonathan from the United States, Using this opportunity to thank Dr. Ughulu is a grateful thing to me, for over years I have been sick with Hepatitis B disease, I have done a lot of things to get cured of my diseases and nothing has worked out. I have taken different types of medication for it , but it still doesn’t work for me. I still keep going for a check up so that the doctor will tell me my disease has be gone, because i’m taking my medicine with no result nothing has been cured, I have spent a lot of money just to get cure of Hepatitis B. until my old time friend came to my place and saw what am going through, and then direct me to contact Dr. Ughulu who is a very powerful man, which I did explain my problem to Dr. Ughulu and send me a herbal remedy bottle and explain to me how I should drink it. So I started to drink the herbal tea in one week that I drink the herbal tea. I went for a check up to check if I’m cured from Hepatitis B disease, then the nurse told me nothing is wrong with me anymore and said I’m fine. I am the happiest person right now.

Go to commentsI’d take the Sharks, Stormers, Bulls, and Lions back in a second. Super Rugby Pacific is improving and the conference system sucked ass and never should have been implemented but if you think the quality of rugby is better without the South African franchises, you are kidding yourself.
And there is nothing authentic about Moana Pacifika, it is a sixth NZ franchise. Almost all of the players are NZ citizens, born and raised in NZ, were developed by NZ secondary schools and play in the NPC. The players just happen to be of Pacific heritage (just as there are a very large number of Pacific heritage players on the original five NZ franchises). Moana Pacifika is a marketing ploy for Auckland’s second SRP franchise.
Fiji Drua are legitimately a Pacific island team. Most players are born in Fiji, the players live and train in Fiji, and they play their home matches in Fiji.
