Watch this space, this guy can play. Future book 12, as long as the sharks don't mess him up.

I said it before, but he has a lot of gas, extremely high work rate. Covered a lot of ground. A lot of modern 12 like Dud and Bundi are big bruising steam rollers. Or should I say putting green rollers. Neither have a lot of pace and don't cover nearly as much ground. Once they are beaten they stop running.
That was not the case for Ethan yesterday. He chased after a kick and easily out sprinted the Ulster backline players, managed to get a toe on the the ball and regather it before it found the sharks player to score.
Then, some see saw play happening. The sharks break down the flank but some how coughs up the ball and Ulster counter with hardly any cover defence. Ethan ran his guts out to chase the surge up the field. He didn't give up and turned around and managed to make a telling tackle, bundling the Ulster player into touch.
I think we found our 12. I like Andre Esterhuizen, but I think Rassie needs to keep a close eye on him this season. If I was plumbers I would give him as much game time as possible
