South African rugby forwards are renowned for their size and physicality - and they don't come bigger or more imposing than, who will play in his 100th Test in the series-deciding third Test against Wales at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday.
Substitutes: 16 Malcolm Marx, 17 Steven Kitshoff, 18 Vincent Koch, 19 Franco Mostert, 20 Kwagga Smith, 21 Elrigh Louw, 22 Faf de Klerk, 23 Willie le RouxEtzebeth captained the Springboks in 12 Tests before Siya Kolisi became the full-time captain in 2018. Echoes of the old Etzebeth reputation emerged shortly before the 2019 Rugby World Cup when he was accused of assault and using a racial slur outside a bar in Langebaan, north of Cape Town.
In an age of tactical substitutions and the so-called 'bomb squad' used by coach Rassie Erasmus in Japan, Etzebeth has started all but six of his matches for South Africa.
