Eben Etzebeth

This giant needs no introduction as the enforcer of Springbok rugby, and is one of the fiercest competitors in world rugby.

At 30 years of age, Etzebeth recently became the youngest player to achieve a century of test matches for South Africa, and he capped the occasion by scooping the Man of the Match award in the 30-14 win against Wales at Newlands.

For a player of 2.03m, Etzebeth boasts an impressive skillset to compliment his abrasive attitude towards the game.

A Stormers second-row stalwart in more than 60 Super Rugby encounters, this 2019 RWC winner has now resolved that Durban provides the perfect environment for the next chapter in his already illustrious career.
