Eben Etzebeth gets absolutely OWNED

You don't see this very often, the Enforcer gets a taste of his own medicine

I’m Welsh - you have to search long and hard to find a clip where this man gets smashed …Anyone remember when Jonah Lomu got tackled one on one by Peter Stringer? Of course you do. Why? Because it rarely happened.

Great hit. Got to give as good as you get. Which etzebeth does. All the big men in rugby have been on the receiving end at some point.

Eben is a beast in his own right.
That was a good hit though
Perfectly timed

[the_katman]

Takes a quality lock to put another down. Two giants of the game.

[kularace]

McCarthy saw him coming miles away. Great setup and tackle.

[olegsmirolenko]

Hardly a 'smash'.
More of a lift.
Bread and butter for the big man.

[kainoizking]

Best way to earn the respect of an enforcer? Wallop him. The big men love big contact

[cuananderson]

Eben is untouchable in the game now & a World Cup 🏆 holder. Nobody comes near this man just look what he did in the Lions Tour and World Cup before that. Living legend of the game we should appreciate before he is done with the game one day. Etzebeth salute brother 🇿🇦

Bloody good tackle... but owned??? Don't know about that one.

[paulrooy]

And what did Eben do? He got up.... got right back at it and put in a solid performance. Everyone takes hits.... what you do after is what counts. Btw.... I'm guessing you had to really search for this clip.... I challenge you to find just 1 or 2 go ahead.... I'll

[stukkak]

It's a good hit. Eben was just receiving the ball though. Body position was so that he was vulnerable.
If you played rugby you will understand this.

[danemyburgh]

Well done to the fella tackling Etzebeth. Great tackle! Why is the clip so short though and only shows one tackle? As a Springbok supporter I can respect that tackle but haha... Where's the rest of the video?

[gusferr]

Good hit...but why was eben jumping mid stride?...with not a single foot planted on mother earth you aint got no counter leverage for when a big hit comes in..just saying.

[hallodanel]

It's one tackle, relax people!Sit, drink some water!😂😂😂

[dirkkok]

Everybody gets owned sometimes... no matter who the fuck you are.

[nisithafernando]

Damn.What a perfect timing hit that was.No matter who you are, everyone has a bad times in their lives😄✌️

[savenaca]

Only one thing i like about Eben is he is not Botha..

[AlbertMyBru]

First time I’ve seen him get tackled hard😂😂

[bFORCe]

Good clean hit that, rocked his head back and lifted both his feet off the ground.

[interestedbystander]

That was an excellent tackle, certainly, but I wouldn't go so far as to say he was "owned". No worries, though. I am aware that we live in a world of hyperbole...
