I love how he smiles in so many instances. He loves a wind up hahahaha
I always loved how it takes five from the other team to even try and subdue him β€β€
π€£π€£ what a guy. Favourite part by far though was French TV telling us how far he managed to throw that guy into touch.
Eben maybe went a bit too far in his early years, but nowadays he's the ultimate enforcer. He definitely intimidates opposition and plays hard without going too far. Will go down as one of the all time great Springboks in my opinion
5:15 got to love the french graphics
Ja. What shall i say.... We just love our Eben.β€β€β€ Love and Light from Cape Town South Africa πππΏπ¦
Etzebeth is by far my fav player, he's so brutal and he's just unstoppable like a tank
For all his aggression Eben has only copped three yellow cards in his career (two in tests and one in elite rugby). He knows how to control his aggression and where to draw the line
I loved it when he went after Folau, after what Folau had done. The only way it would have been better is if Etzebeth had given him the 'typewriter' (including the carriage return)!
The best part about this video is that there's plenty more material to come ππ
In the free-for-all encounters he always takes on the biggest guy in the opposition!
8:50 those eyes, you could literally see him going from zero to a hundred
0:45 Bros a clown for smiling here πππ
Not a fan of this faux macho collar grabbing personally, but Etzebeth knows where to draw the line, he's not an idiot. He just likes to wind the opposition up. He plays hard but within the rules.
1:09 really isn't to his advantage. This is an ego-driven cheap shot because he was hit hard fair and square by Niniashvili (who his 20 cm and 30kg less than him.). A bit despicable, truly
Cannot wait for the World Cup
Notice that Eben doesn't resort to fists, even after having his face gouged a couple of times, although if he'd got a proper hold on that Scots player, I doubt Eben would have stopped until that Scot was on the ground. Eben simply asserts his dominance over the opposition without resorting to brutal violence. Also note how many players like to gang up on Eben.
Etzebeth would make a fantastic NHL defenseman. The reach of Chara and the ferocity of Chris Nilan.
Imagine dating his daughter ..
