According to News24, Etzebeth says his new hairstyle is a result of a promise made to lock teammate RG Snyman.

He explained that about five weeks ago, he and RG Snyman spoke on the bus and agreed that if they won the World Cup, Etzebeth would cut his hair the same as Synman's, and obviously, after the win in the final, Snyman made sure to remind him of their bet after a couple of celebratory drinks.

Lo and behold, as a man of his word, Eztebeth got his hair cut by one of their teammates, Damien Willemse.
