Eben Etzebeth has left Sharks fans licking their lips ahead of next Saturday’s United Rugby Championship clash with Munster following his comments about Jean Kleyn, his Springboks teammate.
Jean Kleyn has praised his fellow lock as well as Pieter-Steph du Toit and Cheslin Kolbe who have been nominated for the World Rugby Player of the Year Award.
Ex-Springboks coach Jacques Nienaber believes that Pieter-Steph du Toit could easily play on the wing as the Bok coaches reveal their thinking behind the 7-1 split.
Springboks and Munster lock Jean Kleyn will not play again this season as he will have surgery on a knee injury due to his eye issue being slow to recover.
Ex-Ireland lock Jean Kleyn admits that becoming a World Cup winner with his native South Africa is something which he was not thinking about just months ago.
