Lol. The Etzebeth family is probably the toughest lot around. Eben though, he really had a *** game, his own inability got the better of his attitude.

Lol, I know many Etzebeth stories, my old man used to play with and against them. Ackerman who? There is not many stories going around anymore, but I will quote this,

http://www.greenandgoldrugby.co.za/the-terminator-from-parow/

Ask anyone older Capetonian about the Etzebeths from Parow and you’ll hear many stories, some funny, most rather scary. In short, they were the hard men of Parow. Their names struck fear into everyone’s heart.

His uncles, “Skattie” and Cliffie Etzebeth were known bar fighters. Cliffie himself – who last year became the world amateur wrestling champion in his age group at a mere 62 years old – told of how he and Skattie would go looking for fights in the Parow Hotel over weekends.

“It was easy [to start a fight], you know. You just take someone’s drink and wait for him to react. At the end of the month we’d go to the Parow Hotel when the Spoorweg (Railway) okes got paid. It was never hard to start a fight…”

There’s another story of how Skattie decked a young farmer one evening at a dance outside Stellenbosch. Skattie just carried on drinking casually. A few minutes later the confused guy got up and started walking unsteadily. Skattie looked up, put his drink down and said: “O, ek sien jy’s al weer op!” (Oh, I can see you’re up already!) and decked him straight away.

There’s another story how Cliffie (when he played for WP) was asked by Doc Craven to “look after Morné” – this after Morné du Plessis had tackled Naas Botha unconscious at Loftus. There were serious concerns about Morné’s safety, so Cliffie and one or two other guys sat down in the hotel corridor in front of Morné’s room, armed with a case or two beer.

Another beauty is the story of Skattie and Cliffie playing a game for Parow against UCT. The educated UCT boys were using line-out calls like “Pythagoras!”, “Aristoteles” and the like. So after a few line outs, Cliffie asked Skattie if he’d worked out their calls yet.

To which Skattie replied: “Nee, maar hulle gooi altyd op daai p**s met die rooi baard!” (No, but they’re always throwing at that p**s with the red beard!”

and nary a peep was heard from any citing idiot or breezer fan ...... wasn't that Kolisi though?

And that game had many high/neck tackles and other stuff that was ignored by Peyphol

Yep. On this forum, Ross should have been sent off for that atrocity and Peyper willfully missed it because he's and undercover Lion.
I'm actually surprised there hasn't been a citing for that, the tip tackle at the start and Carr's shoulder at the end of the half.

inconsistency - nothing gets me more the moer in game after game :( Call out everyone and apply the law to everyone and I'd be over the moon.
 
when eben throws a tantrum he must be taken off the field immediately, his head is no longer in the game. seen it so many times.



"maak n pad of ek slat n pad" etzebeths. they all eventually picked a fight with the wrong people I hear.
 
should screenshot all the other dirty play and mail that citing idiot and ask why he's cherry picking. Ridiculous the way these incidents are being handled, both in game, ala biased arse TMO, or after
 
Laws nowadays are way to strict on something even close to dangerous play. All these sightings and on field penalties and cards for stupid almost high tackles etc. are ridiculous.
