What a legend Etzebeth is. He's my favourite player even though I'm English.

I'm a police officer in RSA...I met Siya in durban 2021. I was standing with my 2 of my colleagues at the beach front. He approached us and spoke to us. Then he bought us hot chocolate and brownies. Very humble man.

I also met Siya at Grandwest Casino in Cape Town, his a good guy.

If I could pick only one player to swap his allegiance and wear an Irish jersey, it would be Etzebeth. He's an indomitable warrior on the field, and he appears to be a complete gentleman off of it. For me, he epitomizes the best of rugby. What cracks me up is whenever things get physical and some lesser mortal decides to take him on, more often than not Eben has a smile on his face, as if he were channeling his inner John McEnroe -- Surely you can't be serious. He's the boss

He cracks me up, every time he gets tangled and locks arms with an opponent he's laughing, but don't attack his teammate or he's comin' for you.

One of the greatest and most humble gents to grace the game. When Eben was 24, I told him that in my opinion, he’d be the most capped Springbok ever. I stand by that. Looking forward to welcoming our Legend back home, Toulon’s loss is The Sharks huge gain.

He mentors Scottish McPhail Scholarship lads who make trip out to SA. Monster respect to the man. Big Jim and him have collided on the pitch but it’s obvious, they are very respectful of each other.

Two South African legends, but sorry I'm team Eben. On and off the field. Glad there are no hard feelings. But Botha please, you don't do that to a fellow bokke, for the sake of some foreign club? Anyway, I find Eben really honest, class and just much more talented.

I'm with you all the way. Well said!

Bakkies starts his comments by saying that Eben is one if not the best 2nd row in the world, yet Eben choose to focus on the fact that Bakkies said that Eben doesn't play as good with Toulon than with RSA, I add that it's not really that he does not perform well with Toulon, it's just that he missed 3/4 of the season.

Bokke bo en wp talent.Prooooviiiince.👍💪👌🤙

I met him he picked me up

Look carefully at the Women in Awe when he walks past them 😂

On pitch he plays on edge off it a gentleman humble quite qualitys of a great player tough lad

Just two freakish gents casually strolling down the streets, Nothing to worry about.

You just got too love Eben,, true gentleman ❤❤

"Yeh, so I was pretty angry, we spoke, we arranged a meet up, he beat me into the fetal position and now everything is fine..."

The contrast of the normal humans walking by him at about his chest height is incredible.

Eban is a monster on the pitch but seems a great chap off it, I'd enjoy a beer or two with him. \

Wasn’t this spat with Bakkies taken out of proportion? I get that Eben would be pissed off at the criticism being done so publicly My understanding is that Bakkies said that Ebens best performances were for the Springbok and not for his club. He wasn’t suggesting Eben was a bad player but there is an element of truth there. Whilst Eben spent most of his last year at Toulon in France injured, and isn’t his fault, you can understand how disappointing the absence of at the time one of the highest paid players in France would have been to his club and fans. I think he played around 8 or nine games that season and I don’t recall him playing those games badly but perhaps not to the same level of as form as he did for the Springbok an ultimately he left by mutual consent with the club . I’m guessing Bakkies was expressing perhaps what other ex Toulon players were thinking, players leaving like that are bound to arose comment rightly or wrongly. I think Eben was unfortunate how his last season at Toulon worked out but in hindsight judging by his form perhaps it was for the bast.

Eben is my boiy i dnk care what no 1 says or thinks he is a exlnt player me and my dads favoirite.A force to b reckoned with he grew up infront of my family.Alletta and my cousins.

never heard anyone butcher "Botha" like that

It would be great if james lowe came in picked up and ran off with eben.

J'exècre d'autres joueurs Français pour les mêmes raisons... C'est à la limite de l'anti jeu et ça n'est pas acceptable...
