The gym Eben frequents back in SA had to get special dumbells for him because all the ones they had weren't heavy enough for him. They got 75kg dumbells. Dude curls a whole adult.
Eben Etzebefh is the Bakkies Botha of his generation. He’s 6ft8 & at least 130kg of sheer muscle, he is very aggressive and is known as an enforcer and he has a serious temper on the field. His most recent famous try was against Ireland in the Rugby World Cup, he took six men with him on his way to scoring. Tests = Games. Tries = Touchdowns.
SA Rugby say 6 foot 8 and 265lbs. (Converted from 203cm & 120kg) I'm NOT trying to be clever mind you! I was genuinely wondering, myself. Please correct me if I made a mistake. Maybe his weight has fluctuated quite a bit through his career?
2:32 - that was quite funny collusion back in the day. Both those players are Springboks. And everyone knows Bismarck (the guy falling) is just as brutal as Eben. But physics in this case is a bitch hahaha.
6 ft 8 at 270lbs, youre just not ready for our south african physicality haha. Dont even get me started on our wingers, bring any football running back/receiver. Wont even be a competition
Eben is no fighter actually. I have seen him pulling more fights apart than fighting himself. And it’s not as if that size man goes entirely unnoticed when people get a bit aggressive
You need to watch the Sean O'Brien "unstoppable" compilation. I don't remember seeing him lose a one on one collision his entire career. Saw him walking down the street in Dublin randomly about 10 years ago and he was just double the girth of every other man walking around. An absolute unit.
Just add on this video... This guy used to play wing in high school (the faster guys on the team) till one summer break in school he became super tall and just kept growing in size from there. So regardless his size, he is actually pretty fast still
If you liked that you should watch The Most Aggressive South African Rugby Player Ever | Bismarck du Plessis Big Hits & Brutal Moments... I think he got the most red and yellow cards out of any springbok player. Guy is next level of crazy. But it was always great to watch him play.
Eben doesn’t talk shit to the refs. He’s a good sportsman and respects the officials…for the most part. And he knows when f’s up and he’s man enough to take the consequences.
He should move to the UFC, heavy weight, btw he's 6'6 and something around 250 pounds... 70 pounds only in his arms. He will win the UFC fight and get the belt, no cap))))
du Toit is 6'7", Mostert is 6'6", Snyman is nearly 6'10" and the list goes on and on. Botha was as big as Etsebeth but Eben is gym bred while Bakkies was street bred.
In rugby of you touch the ref it’s a lifetime ban. Taking back or arguing is a red card. Given the size and testosterone levels of these guys it’s necessary.
Punches are very rarely thrown in rugby. Punch = red card ( ejected from the game with no replacement) and a suspension for the next few games. Considering the testosterone and aggression in rugby it takes great self control not to throw a punch.
You’ve got to react to Antoine Dupont. He’s the best player in the world right now, and arguably the greatest player ever. He is a French scrum half (number 9) - usually the smallest/weakest position - but he defends like a world class back row forward. He has ridiculous power for his height, and great pace. He’s also playing for France in Rugby Sevens, winning the World Championship yesterday. He’ll be playing at the Paris Olympics and they have a good chance of winning gold.
@@zwelonkemkhwanazi8664 The only player with comparable skills is Dan Carter imo. Defensively though Dupont is unlike any playmaker, aside from maybe Wilkinson in his tackling.

Thank you!¡!! You listened!! In South Africa our blood is green 🇿🇦
It's truly embedded in your culture. From a UK guy.
@Amethyst_Friend ❤️ tx friend. You also have a great team 💪
Eben Etzebeth weighs 285 pounds and is 6 foot 8.5 inches tall. So yes, He is a big guy.
Just a whole specimen of a human being😂🤷🏽♂️

I remember that game, then you would have thought it impossible to bump Bismarck like that
Eben seriously did NOT disrespect the referee despite being twice his size. They call him sir and do as he tells them.
For some context, at 21 years old Eben needed 75kg dumbells to use for dumbell chest press

Good recovery ❤️🩹 poor form.

Sir did you just say THEEE Eben Etzebeth is only 6'5?????How dare you!

Tests are games played between nations (countries), i.e. South Africa vs USA.
Bro please check out Bakkies Botha he was the springboks enforcer before Eben. He is hard-core and a must see.
Im a All Blacks supporter and can confirm Bakkies was a menace on the field. Respect
Just add on this video... This guy used to play wing in high school (the faster guys on the team) till one summer break in school he became super tall and just kept growing in size from there. So regardless his size, he is actually pretty fast still
Eben Etzebeth 100 Test caps is the number of games he has played for the Springboks
South African school boy rugby
My Father-in-law played Rugby with that dude's unckes. It was a known fact that you don't duck with the Etzebeths. Warrior genes.
Eben is the most capped (128) rugby player in South Africa.
Yes he does have a family, a wife and a little daughter.
that boy had his provincial team to order more lifting weights because their maximum at the time was small for him.. EBEN ETZEBETH is the name....
If you liked that you should watch The Most Aggressive South African Rugby Player Ever | Bismarck du Plessis Big Hits & Brutal Moments... I think he got the most red and yellow cards out of any springbok player. Guy is next level of crazy. But it was always great to watch him play.
2:21 Bro said am I on brazzers I'm dead😭😭
The DHL (blue) team you are referring to is called the Stormers.
I've never seen anyone walk the line like Etzebeth. Easily among the top 10 most street-smart players ever. Knows the laws really well too
Test is when you play an international match for your country. 6ft8. I think 120kgs/ 260lbs
Rad videos man!! There are so many Springbok/South African monsters to checkout!! 🇿🇦
Fun fact Eben use to play wing when he was in school
Go check out Bakkies Botha, he was the pre Eben Etzebeth enforcer of SA rugby, you won't be disappointed.
In rugby you do not desrespect the ref...never
Factsssss
There is 1 thing that the majority of rugby players do, respect for the referee. Some teams, the players will call the ref Sir
Yeah, tests are games he played for the Springboks.
The original enforcer is Bakkies Botha
Tests are international matches.
He is not our only best😂
Watch Bakkies Botha the Original Enforcer. Nr.4 for the springboks before Eben Etzebeth
100 tests means 100 games played for his country, south Africa. so its games played against other international teams.
The guy is 6'8 275
you gotta try watch some school boy rugby
Faf de klerk gaint slayer
4:41 One thing you will learn about players, they play hard but they respect the Ref..
What is the old saying? Football is a gentlemen's game, played by hooligans while Rugby is a hooligan's game, played by gentlemen.
The story is that they had to make special dumbells for Eben. 165lbs. Have a look at his arms….
Height 6 ft 8+1⁄2 in
Weight 278 lb; 19 st 12 lb
Not only super strong but he is incredibly mobile for his size. Just curious to know where the Americans would play him in a football team.
Likely defensive end in today's NFL because he could contain the outside run.
ALSO NOT DH GATE BUT DHL they transport goods world wide
The guy before him Bakkies Botha was tougher in my opinion.DHL is a sponsor not a team.The team is the Stormers.
You're going to become a big rugby fan
I already am 👍🏻 and Thank you for the support and video suggestions 🔥
I believe rugby is being played in America now?
His name is like the letter E and ben you pronounce as bin, then together will be Ebin
Gr8 Reaction as usual!!!
Plz check-out Cheslin Kolbe or Kurtley Arendse or
"Die Hard Rugby: Speed Kills"
DHL are the sponsors the team is called the stormers
bruh hes 6"8 260. hes a unit
I think I can take him 🤜🏻
@@7footreacts 🤣 never know until you try💪🏼
I'll pay good money too see this, not many people even post comments like this if you follow and know where he comes from
Eben doesn’t talk shit to the refs. He’s a good sportsman and respects the officials…for the most part.
And he knows when f’s up and he’s man enough to take the consequences.
It is not about money. It is national pride and winning championships.
That Australian player most probably punched one of his team mates.
Check out bakkies botha for the original enforcer
Bakkies Botha is the original enforcer
100 tests means the amount of games he played for the Springboks.not for his club.but country
Please react to a Bakkies Botha rugby fight video
React to bakkie botha,won't disappoint. 🙏🙏
That nose will poke your eye out hahaha.
Since Americans dont understand meters and kilogrames he is 6.69ft weighing about 265Lb
Pronounced Ear'bin 'It's-abet😅😅😂😂
E-BEN ET ZE BETH. (Pronounced more like Evan, or 'ea-ben'. (Not E-Bon) 'Tests' are International matches.
He should move to the UFC, heavy weight, btw he's 6'6 and something around 250 pounds... 70 pounds only in his arms. He will win the UFC fight and get the belt, no cap))))
The guy is 6'8, 285 lbs if pure South African rage
A Test match is a match between two countries.
Test = matches usually main events
Is that Derrick Henry?! Lol. Henry is 6'3 247lb, Eben is 6'8 262lb
du Toit is 6'7", Mostert is 6'6", Snyman is nearly 6'10" and the list goes on and on. Botha was as big as Etsebeth but Eben is gym bred while Bakkies was street bred.
Tests meaning he had 100 international rugby matches that time
I heard they don't have enough weight's for Eben at the gym.
Pierre Spies, his video won't disappoint you
Check out bakkie botha he is like eben before there was a eben he hits hard a dirty
In rugby of you touch the ref it’s a lifetime ban.
Taking back or arguing is a red card.

Chessline Coby
Eben is def stronger than 99.9% of the NFL not close

Tests = Matches/Games
You a funny guy... Make me laugh just watching your reaction. MOSTLY really appreciate your not cursing and taking our Lord's name in vain❤🙏🇿🇦🇮🇱

Don't overstate it he is good but he is not the greatest player ever, I am not discrediting him other than he is the greatest rugby player

Ridiculous overstatement.
@@sharonmartin4036 He literally just won a gold medal at the Olympics???
@willsonj The Paris Woke Olympics? Did they have to cross dress to play? What a f.....g freak show.
6.9 not 6.5😎 Pure South African farm meat bred boy

Tests are machess that you play to qualify for a team

Tests means games played
