Etzebeth was called up to the Springbok team for the first time by Heyneke Meyer ahead of a three-match series against England in June 2012. Etzebeth currently plays his franchise level rugby for the Sharks having signed for them ahead of the 2022/23 URC season.Lood De Jager’s boyish visage belies the fact that he operates on a massive frame, sometimes billed as 2,05m or 2,06m.De Jager played for the Leopards as a youth and also for NWU Pukke, the university team headquartered in Potchefstroom.
