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.

Generation before that was Bakkies and the generation before that was Eales, Johnson etc 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.. To call him the best ever is to disgrace the 4’s that paved the way..

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.

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).

@user-tj8ox8iy8m 3 месяца назад

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.

@QSNgg 3 месяца назад

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 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 Месяц назад

You said it perfectly. Highlights never give the full picture of the story either. I've done a lot more research on Eben since first shooting this video and know he's a very clean player. He's a leader of the team and supremely talented. These 'enforcer' video don't give him the justice he deserves. He takes up for his team and himself. Never looking for a fight, just defending his team which I love and respect

@jasonstevenson4067 3 месяца назад

I see you already have many comments saying this. But I don't really get why that first video was made the way it was. I think the mistake was watching videos of him being an enforcer as opposed to just his good plays. He certainly is an enforcer in many ways, but that's not actually what he is known for. The respect other players have for him, and the respect he has for the refs is almost unrivaled he is actually one of the cleanest players despite how those videos made him look. The way he lifts and encourages his teammates is truly special. If you want to see probably the greatest captain, and the most revered leader with great sportsmanship, look up a video on the background of Siya Kolisi, he has truly one of the best backstories, and is the greatest leader currently in the sport, super inspirational.

I remember when he started playing in the Western Province in SA. I thought " Who the actual feck is this new noodle wanting to play for MY team( yeah l support WP) and he made a total cock up of the game. But was many years back. Now he knows how to play

If you know rugby then you would know that the 2 most feared numbers 4 players are Eben Etzebeth and Bakkies Botha. And Eben has won player of the year twice!!

@Viktor_9696 Месяц назад

These highlights show the "bad" side of Eben. In the past 7 years there have been many, many times he played brilliantly (actually he plays really well 90% of the time) and a highlights package of him playing amazing physical rugby can be made from those clips alone. In the past 7 years he enforcers himself by being physical in his ball carrying and tackles and therfore instilling fear into his opponents. This highlights package shows his dirty play highlights which are mostly very old footage and not a true reflection of the rugby player he really is.

@QSNgg Месяц назад

You're 100% right about that Viktor! I've learned so much more about Eben since this video and see he's such a role model on the SA team. He has a very clean disciplinary record both in club and international I love how incredible a player he is. A true leader and talented man

@Richiep1234 3 месяца назад

You have to checkout some of the old school enforces back in the rough days. Martin Johnson was probably England's best enforcer during the 90s-00s, check him out. Also here's a goosebump inducing pre game speech from Martin and some of the other Lions, best pre workout material ever haha ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C6INptNs2Go.html.

@gdd2959 3 месяца назад

To tackle correctly in rugby, you should not put your head in front of the ball, because we do not have helmets. So it is technically better to wrap around and have your head on the side of the opponent when your shoulder makes contact. If you hit the runner from the side with a tackle, your head should be at his back

@QSNgg 3 месяца назад

You hate to play against him but you’d love having him on your team. The tape around the quads is predominantly for lifting in the lineout so that the lifters hands don’t slip on wet legs. There probably is another use for them but as a back I wouldn’t know 😂 The Scottish player he was getting aggressive with was Jim Hamilton who plays the same position. Also a bit of an enforcer. Lovely interview on Rugby Pass of those two just strolling down the streets of France and chatting like gentleman.

It just really gets to me the click bait that youtubers are making all these compilations pretend it is to showcase a player like Eben as an enforcer but then for 10min all you see is the negative the fights yet he have far more less cards on his record then other players I know.
