Eztebeth

He has been reasonably quite in recent matches. He has not been good at the Sharks, although not many players are under Plumtree.

He has had lots of injuries this year, including concussions that have had lingering impact. He might need a bit of a rest from the game to see if he can get back into form and still be a factor in 2 years time at the world cup.

I am soprry - but have to agree with you. Etzebeth seems to have lost the plaot in 2025 I think everybody thought that Etzebeth would be a certainty to play in the RWC in 2027 - but of his erformances in 2025 is borne in mind and especaially his concussion injuries rre borne in mind I son't think he would make the grade to be a merit selection in 2027.
