Eben Etzebeth Absolutely DESTROYS Finn Russel | South Africa vs Scotland 2021

Here is the tackle that a lot of you have been referring too. Eben Etzebeth simply destroyed Finn Russel with this hit. Just another example as to why Eben is the best Enforcer of the modern era.

Hope you enjoy it!

Russel didn't flinch and he got the pass away. He knew what was coming and still did his job. End of.

A solid, clean tackle and a thing of beauty. Eben seems to playing his best rugby ever. He has been on fire this year.

[pietpadda]

I remember shouting "what a tackle!" during the game after that hit. He came out of nowhere!

[mindsurfer]

God damn that is just terrifying, what an absolute unit!

[robertgrindley]

I was convinced he was offside the first time. How is something that large, that fast?

[RassieErasmustheGOAT]

Team performance peaks whenever Rassie's on field!Such an impactful individual.Well done Eben!

[TipOfAfrica]

Oh damn, apparently Owen Farrell is out injured, would have loved to see him get smashed by the Boks on Saturday

[johnsmith]

Eben is improving with every game he plays. He started out as a good player, and is now rapidly emerging as one of the greats of this game.

[christiaanlombard]

Is it just me who sees Rassie giving a thumbs up for the tackle from the sideline?

[stevenbennett]

Owen Farrel should be forced to watch this video, thats what a good legal tackle looks like

[tomstuppence]

And Russell just gets up and gets on with it as if nothing has happened. "Absolutely destroyed" 😂

[kareldupreez]

@TASanalytics you posted a video with a border line "legal" Tackle when nr 8 OZ tackled nr 4 Wales this weekend (Although I did not agree with your interpretation of legal) Eben Etsebeth is also 6'10" and look where he takes Russell. Now, that is a proper example of a perfectly executed legal tackle!

[ivorwrench]

Finn prides himself on taking these hits before laying off a pass. Doesn't detract from an excellent statement tackle. Just two of the best at the top of their game.

[simonleslie]

In fairness, Finn got up and played on. Still, we like a good smash!

[TFARM]

That's my boy.. My people.. The best team in the world

[timgabby]

Eben walked past me in the Cardiff Hilton. The Sun went out. Scary.

[Spinnwinn]

Okay guys I did the math. Finn Russel is 1.82m tall. Eben tackled him roughly 2.5 body lengths away from his original position (I used photoshop to figure it out). So Eben tackled Russel 4.3m away from where he was standing. Also, please notice Rassie's thumbs up in the bottom corner after the tackle.

Watch Rugby World cup final highlights of PSDT terrorizing Ford the whole game. To think our pack is missing PSDT, RG, Malherbe. 😒
We are really ahead of everyone when it comes to forward pack.

[francoisvanwyk]

Fortunately for him not as bad as the Brian Lima tackle on Derrick hougaard

[petrusmarais]

Should show this video to Owen Farrel.
