Despite now standing at an imposing 6ft 8in (2.03m) and weighing over 123kg, Etzebeth wasn’t always a dominant force on the rugby field. From U14 to U16, he played B-team rugby as a back during his early school years. Off the rugby field, he excelled as a sprinter for Northern Suburbs Schools and was a skilled high jumper, providing a solid foundation for his future success in lineouts.

By Grade 11, Etzebeth had grown into the towering figure known today. That year, he represented Western Province at Craven Week and played for South Africa U18 in matches against France and Namibia alongside future Springbok captain Siya Kolisi. The rest, as they say, is history.
