Eben Etzebeth - The Man. The Legend.

[@Cuchufly]

At this point I think that he is the best lock in rugby history, even beyond Eales and Matfield. Greeting from Chile.

[@peterhunter6040]

Greatness is largely determined by what you win and longevity, hence Richie Mccaw is widely regarded as the GOAT. But in terms of ability and influence, Maro Itoje from 2016-2021 was better than any version of Etzebeth

Thank you for the video. Just the longevity of the man, is astounding. Truly a bok legend

[@benvetonline]

Great video ! I remember jumping off my couch with that try against France in the world cup. Great memory. What a player.

The perfect hybrid of Matfield and Botha. The greatest lock of all time

[@peterhunter6040]

He'll likely go down as the greatest because he won 2 world cups and is the most capped Springbok. But in terms of ability and influence, there are a few locks better than Etzebeth

I think prime Rettalick in terms of all rounds skills and toughness (injuries probably let held him back at times)but can see why people thinks Eben he’s an absolute legend

Who would you rather have on your team, if you could only have one: Etzebeth, Victor Matfield, or Mark Andrews?

[@RealRugby]

@@rh5466 different players, but Eben ticks more boxes than the other two. Eben all day

What about Bakkies?

[@rh5466]

@@louisvanniekerk2612 Yeah, I regret I overlooked him. Okay, Etzebeth, Matfield, Andrews or Botha...?

[@bongolethudubula]

First time I paid attention to Etzebeth i when he put Bismark Du Plessis on his ass

[@meeshnozigqwaba8972]

then you will still find nostalgia merchants trying to tell you bakkies botha was better or greater than eben etzebeth, eben in fact might be the greatest lock in the history of the game. very few stand with him, i'd say him, whitelock, matfield & john eales stand far above the rest, johnson not far off just not part of this club.

[@peterhunter6040]

In terms of ability and influence, Maro Itoje clears Etzebeth, just as Pocock clears Mccaw. But greatness seems to be determined by longevity and winning, so Etzebeth will probably go down as the best lock, just as Mccaw as the best flanker/player
