Eben Etzebeth

“It was a massive game for us, in the context of the competition and in the context of our season.”

“I look at the guys that won the 2019 World Cup, and then the series against the Lions series. Man… I have a lot of respect for those guys”

“So we put everything on the line in the second Test, and in the third, which was as intense as a World Cup final. It’s fair to say that we emerged with our reputations intact.”

“If we lost that game and the series, we knew that we’d never have another chance in our careers to beat the Lions”

“We started to talk about what we needed to do in the second game, about how we were going to fix things. It was do or die.”
