What you need to know about Eben Etzebeth
Eben Etzebeth, born in Cape Town on 29 October 1991, attended Hoërskool Tygerberg, an Afrikaans co-educational high school in Parow. Although he now stands at 2.03m and weighs over 123kg, he didn’t dominate rugby in his early school days, experiencing significant growth only later in his teens.
During the U14 to U16 levels, he played B-team rugby as a back while excelling in sprinting for the Northern Suburbs Schools and showcasing his skills as a high jumper, which proved advantageous for lineouts.
By Grade 11, he had developed into the formidable player we recognise today. He participated in Craven Week for Western Province and represented South Africa U18 against France and Namibia alongside Siya Kolisi.
Eben Etzebeth is married to Anlia van Rensburg, an actress known for her roles in various successful South African soap operas and other ventures in the entertainment industry. The couple first met in October 2021 in the picturesque coastal village of Melkbosstrand, located north of Cape Town. After a quick romance, they dated for five months before Eben proposed, and Anlia happily accepted.
