TOULON - As Eben Etzebeth nurses himself back to fitness and tries to focus on helping stumbling Toulon finish the Top 14 strongly, he is nevertheless thinking of the"massive" Lions tour to South Africa."It has been a tough season as a result of Covid-19 and I got a couple of injuries," he told AFP.
With two rounds to go they are clinging to the sixth and last play-off spot, ahead of streaking Stade Francais on the tiebreak, with Castres and Lyon just two points behind. But reaching the final, which is scheduled for June 25, would delay his return to South Africa, where the Springboks are due to start a two-Test series against Georgia on the weekend of July 3.
The Georgia matches are a warm-up for a three-match series against the British and Irish Lions starting in Cape Town on July 24. South Africa will defend their World Cup in France in 2023 but Etzebeth said that did not influence his decision last summer to extend his Toulon contract to 2024.
