Eben is no fighter actually. I have seen him pulling more fights apart than fighting himself. And it’s not as if that size man goes entirely unnoticed when people get a bit aggressive
2:32 - that was quite funny collusion back in the day. Both those players are Springboks. And everyone knows Bismarck (the guy falling) is just as brutal as Eben. But physics in this case is a bitch hahaha.
The gym Eben frequents back in SA had to get special dumbells for him because all the ones they had weren't heavy enough for him. They got 75kg dumbells. Dude curls a whole adult.
6 ft 8 at 270lbs, youre just not ready for our south african physicality haha. Dont even get me started on our wingers, bring any football running back/receiver. Wont even be a competition
You need to watch the Sean O'Brien "unstoppable" compilation. I don't remember seeing him lose a one on one collision his entire career. Saw him walking down the street in Dublin randomly about 10 years ago and he was just double the girth of every other man walking around. An absolute unit.
Just add on this video... This guy used to play wing in high school (the faster guys on the team) till one summer break in school he became super tall and just kept growing in size from there. So regardless his size, he is actually pretty fast still
If you liked that you should watch The Most Aggressive South African Rugby Player Ever | Bismarck du Plessis Big Hits & Brutal Moments... I think he got the most red and yellow cards out of any springbok player. Guy is next level of crazy. But it was always great to watch him play.
Eben doesn’t talk shit to the refs. He’s a good sportsman and respects the officials…for the most part. And he knows when f’s up and he’s man enough to take the consequences.
du Toit is 6'7", Mostert is 6'6", Snyman is nearly 6'10" and the list goes on and on. Botha was as big as Etsebeth but Eben is gym bred while Bakkies was street bred.
In rugby of you touch the ref it’s a lifetime ban. Taking back or arguing is a red card. Given the size and testosterone levels of these guys it’s necessary.
He should move to the UFC, heavy weight, btw he's 6'6 and something around 250 pounds... 70 pounds only in his arms. He will win the UFC fight and get the belt, no cap))))
Punches are very rarely thrown in rugby. Punch = red card ( ejected from the game with no replacement) and a suspension for the next few games. Considering the testosterone and aggression in rugby it takes great self control not to throw a punch.
You’ve got to react to Antoine Dupont. He’s the best player in the world right now, and arguably the greatest player ever. He is a French scrum half (number 9) - usually the smallest/weakest position - but he defends like a world class back row forward. He has ridiculous power for his height, and great pace. He’s also playing for France in Rugby Sevens, winning the World Championship yesterday. He’ll be playing at the Paris Olympics and they have a good chance of winning gold.
@@zwelonkemkhwanazi8664 The only player with comparable skills is Dan Carter imo. Defensively though Dupont is unlike any playmaker, aside from maybe Wilkinson in his tackling.

Eben Etzebeth weighs 285 pounds and is 6 foot 8.5 inches tall. So yes, He is a big guy.
Just a whole specimen of a human being😂🤷🏽♂️
Thank you!¡!! You listened!! In South Africa our blood is green 🇿🇦
Tests are international matches that affect worldwide ranking.
Eben is no fighter actually. I have seen him pulling more fights apart than fighting himself. And it’s not as if that size man goes entirely unnoticed when people get a bit aggressive
2:32 - that was quite funny collusion back in the day. Both those players are Springboks. And everyone knows Bismarck (the guy falling) is just as brutal as Eben. But physics in this case is a bitch hahaha.
I remember that game, then you would have thought it impossible to bump Bismarck like that
The gym Eben frequents back in SA had to get special dumbells for him because all the ones they had weren't heavy enough for him.
They got 75kg dumbells. Dude curls a whole adult.
For some context, at 21 years old Eben needed 75kg dumbells to use for dumbell chest press
Sir did you just say THEEE Eben Etzebeth is only 6'5?????How dare you!
6 ft 8 at 270lbs, youre just not ready for our south african physicality haha. Dont even get me started on our wingers, bring any football running back/receiver. Wont even be a competition
Good recovery ❤️🩹 poor form.
GAAN LEK JOU MASE VIS POES UIT. YOU PROBABLY UNDERSTAND THAT?
Hahahah hy sal dit nie verstaan nie 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
FACTS
😂😂😂
Bro please check out Bakkies Botha he was the springboks enforcer before Eben. He is hard-core and a must see.
Im a All Blacks supporter and can confirm Bakkies was a menace on the field. Respect

South African school boy rugby
Just add on this video... This guy used to play wing in high school (the faster guys on the team) till one summer break in school he became super tall and just kept growing in size from there. So regardless his size, he is actually pretty fast still
My Father-in-law played Rugby with that dude's unckes. It was a known fact that you don't duck with the Etzebeths. Warrior genes.
Eben Etzebeth 100 Test caps is the number of games he has played for the Springboks
Eben is the most capped (128) rugby player in South Africa.
Yes he does have a family, a wife and a little daughter.
Eben seriously did NOT disrespect the referee despite being twice his size. They call him sir and do as he tells them.
Tests are games played between nations (countries), i.e. South Africa vs USA.
You a funny guy... Make me laugh just watching your reaction. MOSTLY really appreciate your not cursing and taking our Lord's name in vain❤🙏🇿🇦🇮🇱
that boy had his provincial team to order more lifting weights because their maximum at the time was small for him.. EBEN ETZEBETH is the name....
Fun fact Eben use to play wing when he was in school
I've never seen anyone walk the line like Etzebeth. Easily among the top 10 most street-smart players ever. Knows the laws really well too
If you liked that you should watch The Most Aggressive South African Rugby Player Ever | Bismarck du Plessis Big Hits & Brutal Moments... I think he got the most red and yellow cards out of any springbok player. Guy is next level of crazy. But it was always great to watch him play.
The DHL (blue) team you are referring to is called the Stormers.
Rad videos man!! There are so many Springbok/South African monsters to checkout!! 🇿🇦
Test is when you play an international match for your country. 6ft8. I think 120kgs/ 260lbs
2:21 Bro said am I on brazzers I'm dead😭😭
Go check out Bakkies Botha, he was the pre Eben Etzebeth enforcer of SA rugby, you won't be disappointed.
The original enforcer is Bakkies Botha
you gotta try watch some school boy rugby
There is 1 thing that the majority of rugby players do, respect for the referee. Some teams, the players will call the ref Sir
100 tests means 100 games played for his country, south Africa. so its games played against other international teams.
The guy is 6'8 275
That nose will poke your eye out hahaha.
Yeah, tests are games he played for the Springboks.
You're going to become a big rugby fan
I already am 👍🏻 and Thank you for the support and video suggestions 🔥
I believe rugby is being played in America now?
His name is like the letter E and ben you pronounce as bin, then together will be Ebin
Watch Bakkies Botha the Original Enforcer. Nr.4 for the springboks before Eben Etzebeth
It is not about money. It is national pride and winning championships.
Eben doesn’t talk shit to the refs. He’s a good sportsman and respects the officials…for the most part.
And he knows when f’s up and he’s man enough to take the consequences.
Tests meaning he had 100 international rugby matches that time
bruh hes 6"8 260. hes a unit
I think I can take him 🤜🏻
@@7footreacts 🤣 never know until you try💪🏼
I'll pay good money too see this, not many people even post comments like this if you follow and know where he comes from
Faf de klerk gaint slayer
Gr8 Reaction as usual!!!
Plz check-out Cheslin Kolbe or Kurtley Arendse or
"Die Hard Rugby: Speed Kills"
The guy before him Bakkies Botha was tougher in my opinion.DHL is a sponsor not a team.The team is the Stormers.
Since Americans dont understand meters and kilogrames he is 6.69ft weighing about 265Lb
He is not our only best😂
In rugby you do not desrespect the ref...never
4:41 One thing you will learn about players, they play hard but they respect the Ref..
What is the old saying? Football is a gentlemen's game, played by hooligans while Rugby is a hooligan's game, played by gentlemen.
A Test match is a match between two countries.
ALSO NOT DH GATE BUT DHL they transport goods world wide
DHL are the sponsors the team is called the stormers
Not only super strong but he is incredibly mobile for his size. Just curious to know where the Americans would play him in a football team.
Likely defensive end in today's NFL because he could contain the outside run.
Bakkies Botha is the original enforcer
100 tests means the amount of games he played for the Springboks.not for his club.but country
Is that Derrick Henry?! Lol. Henry is 6'3 247lb, Eben is 6'8 262lb
du Toit is 6'7", Mostert is 6'6", Snyman is nearly 6'10" and the list goes on and on. Botha was as big as Etsebeth but Eben is gym bred while Bakkies was street bred.
Eben is def stronger than 99.9% of the NFL not close
Pronounced Ear'bin 'It's-abet😅😅😂😂
E-BEN ET ZE BETH. (Pronounced more like Evan, or 'ea-ben'. (Not E-Bon) 'Tests' are International matches.
Pierre Spies, his video won't disappoint you
In rugby of you touch the ref it’s a lifetime ban.
Taking back or arguing is a red card.
Given the size and testosterone levels of these guys it’s necessary.
Check out bakkies botha for the original enforcer
Tests are international matches.
he's 6'7 to 6'8
I heard they don't have enough weight's for Eben at the gym.
React to bakkie botha,won't disappoint. 🙏🙏
He should move to the UFC, heavy weight, btw he's 6'6 and something around 250 pounds... 70 pounds only in his arms. He will win the UFC fight and get the belt, no cap))))
The guy is 6'8, 285 lbs if pure South African rage
A test is an international match
THATS GAMES PLAYED. I'M SOUTH AFRICAN AND WINNING EVERY GAME IS BORING NOW. COME ON SPRINGBOKS
Punches are very rarely thrown in rugby. Punch = red card ( ejected from the game with no replacement) and a suspension for the next few games. Considering the testosterone and aggression in rugby it takes great self control not to throw a punch.
ALL WITHOUT CISSY PADS
He's 6'8
Test = matches usually main events
Tests are machess that you play to qualify for a team
Chessline Coby
Check out bakkie botha he is like eben before there was a eben he hits hard a dirty
His name is pronounced Eebin
He's a nice bloke to who doesn't instigate dumb stuff like England.
eben 6’8 or so
You gotta act to, Makazole Mampimpi
Tests = Matches/Games
hes 6.8 260
Tests are matches
NRL State of origin best fight
No NFL player will be able to take on Eben 😂

Don't overstate it he is good but he is not the greatest player ever, I am not discrediting him other than he is the greatest rugby player
@@zwelonkemkhwanazi8664 The only player with comparable skills is Dan Carter imo. Defensively though Dupont is unlike any playmaker, aside from maybe Wilkinson in his tackling.
Ridiculous overstatement.
@@sharonmartin4036 He literally just won a gold medal at the Olympics???
@willsonj The Paris Woke Olympics? Did they have to cross dress to play? What a f.....g freak show.
React to Tuisova
IF YOU WANT A FIGHT RUGBY TILL I COLLAPSE CHECK OUT THE VIDEO.
Tests means games played
Not just games played, international games played that affect world rankings ☺️ players also play for clubs which is not test rugby
6.9 not 6.5😎 Pure South African farm meat bred boy
Pronounced EAR-BIN
I know this video is about him but he isn't the best in the springbok team because everyone in the South African team is the best.
Pronounce Eeeb'n

Not even the greatest for SA lol
