They may be the two tallest players in the Springbok squad, but Eben Etzebeth and RG Snyman are anything but intimidating when it comes to meeting their fans.
In fact, the duo even warmly embraced the Gwigo Squad – South Africa’s sports fan movement – after meeting them on a day off in Paris, France.
The supporters will fly the flag high when the Springboks take on New Zealand’s All Blacks in the Rugby World Cup final on Saturday, 28 October.
