    So Eben is actually the calm one. His mentor, Bakkies Botha - literally went on the field to hurt people for fun. --- Also, these are just 5% of the bad takes. Eben is like 95% clean player.

    There are 2 really impressive things about Etzebeth (more than the rest I mean) :

    2/ the longevity : I think it's been 10 years since he's been in the conversation for "best lock in the world" so it should place him in the conversation for "best lock ever"

      Calling anyone the best ever is futile.

      Go back in time and look for the enforcers and U will find Collin Meads and Frik Du Preez.. both of which could finish games with broken arms and still enforce..
      Even in Etzebeths time you have hard as nails bastards like Brodie Rettalick and slightly before that the Welch freak of stainless steel nature in the form of Alun Wynn Jones (if my spelling is correct)
      I’m a South Africa but at 6’4” running the 100m in less than 11secs in my youth years I played lock..
      For me it comes down to badass tight 5 play and currently Etzebeth is head and shoulders above everyone. For this generation..

    One stand-out skill that Eben has that hasn't been mentioned - his ability to read and disrupt opposition line outs. He is a big guy, but he gets into the air very very fast. His team mates obviously lifts him higher once he is in the air, but his first, explosive lift-off enables him to get infront of the opposition jumper (keeping in mind the opposition knows when and where the ball will be coming).

    Important thing to note is that getting into the heads of the opponent is a clear tactic that has been used by South Africa for decades now.
    And the role of South Africa's enforcers are to get the opponent super angry and only seeing red mist.
    And if the opponent is angry and looking for revenge, he won't focus on his team's game plane anymore. And once that happens, that team has lost a player.
    So appear aggressive, and use that to make your opponent really angry.
    Meanwhile, you're actually perfectly calm, and are simply using a tactic to throw your opponents off of their game plan.
    And quite clearly, it's an incredibly effective tactic for the Springboks.

    Eben is much better just focusing on the game rather than the man. He takes line-outs, he steals line-outs and is probably the best no.2 jumper in world rugby, he powers the scrum, he runs, he dominates in the tackle, he off-loads, he scores, he pilfers. He is just a complete player. Only thing I haven't seen him do often is kick.

    Eben's card count is actually pretty low considering the stuff he gets up. He is smart enough to go up to the line, but not cross it, so the ref just gives him a talking to and nothing else. In terms of the whole sport itself, a lot of people regard him as really knowledgeable in regards to the laws currently in the game, knowing how to bend them and skirt the lines in his teams favour.

    In my personal opinion, rugby has had many seasons.... especially when it comes to rules. And in many of these "enforcer" videos (not only Eben, Bakkies and a bunch of other Sprinboks and non-SA players) many things are not considered.
    Examples include 1) the rules have changed so much - if you really research, you will find that rules around tackles, scrums etc. have become very difficult to apply when practically playing the game).

    • @QSNgg

      He's a leader of the team and supremely talented. These 'enforcer' video don't give him the justice he deserves.
