INTERVIEW - The huge South African second row quickly adapted to his life at RC Toulon and enjoys French rugby.


The Toulon Rugby Club has always devoted a particular cult to the formidable warriors, the tough to the evil. With Eben Etzebeth, the Var club has secured the services of one of the most feared rugby players on the oval planet, one of the best second lines in the world. Arrived in the harbor in 2019 crowned with the title of world champion won by the Springboks in Japan, the South African (28 years old, 85 caps) decided to extend his lease in Toulon until 2024. Due to the shortened season by the Covid-19, he played only eight games with the Rouge et Noir (5 in Top 14, 3 in Challenge Cup). Before the resumption of the championship scheduled for September 4, he is hungry to find the land and win titles with the RCT.

LE FIGARO. - How do you approach the resumption of the Top 14 with Toulon?

Eben ETZEBETH. - I can not wait for it to resume, I am very excited. We were arrested for long months, it was really long. We all want to find the land and play again.
