A brave young lady asked Eben Etzebeth who has become a household name and has also gained a nickname ‘Elizabedi’ following his performance when Springboks were up against France in the Rugby World Cup to marry her.

“Eben will you marry me?” she said on national television.

The 31-year-old, who stands 2.04m and weighs 119kg is married to actress and singer Anlia van Rensburg. The two tied the knot in February this year at the La Paris Estate in Franschhoek in the Western Cape.
