A world class lock he doesn't just getting involved in a few scraps here and there, he is a top class player also. Big fan of his. :)

One of the best players in the world in his role, powerful, determined, strong, very good, he still has a lot to give to his teammates, South Africa and all rugby fans.
And we did win the world cup 2019 so well done to all the bokke made ur country proud and again just well done
I love this Man ♥️♥️Respekt from Georgia 🇬🇪🇬🇪
Eben & Bakkies Botha are the nost aggressive locks S.A's ever had 👌
Much respect for Mr. E.E. a Beast in the field! Very polite outside of it! A true professional! Either way I live in NZ so I know what's my team!
What a beast, can't wait to see how he leads the Boks in the 2019 RWC

They need a decision maker in the halves to control the game then they would be hard to beat.Can never count out SA.As a kiwi they are always tough.

Siya Kolisi is the captain😉
this guy is never gratuitously dirty yes he can look after himself but his sheer athletism allows him to be physical but he avoids the cheap shot .for rugby fans all over he rightly garners enormous respect and it is well earned.from ireland
Top guy and player from a 🏴 man!
Big Eben!! Next year we coming for Gold

Groundhog Guns he has every physical attribute over retalick, from ball carrying, to devestating defence(physicality )to speed ...Retalick only has better skills and probably a better rugby brain due to the fact that New Zealand teams are well coached to an extent where even forward players have good skills...with that said your comment on him having nothing over retalick is wrong..

Sorry to say mate but Retalick is in a different league to Etzebeth. According to Wikipedia Retalick is heavier and the same height but we know he's faster and fitter , he has more trys ,hes the most skilled forward in the game and constantly makes the most tackles in a match .Not to mention was the World rugby player of the year in 2014 and won the super rugby title with the chiefs in 2012 at the age of just 20 and correct me if im wrong but i dont think etzebeth has won a game against the all blacks

Springbokz say he's so good but the he ain't showing me anything he's always failed against the abs
