Late last year French club Toulon announced that Etzebeth would join them‚ although Western Province have made no official proclamations on the move.
Etzebeth tried to skirt a direct question about the move on Monday. “For me it’s the challenge of facing the Crusaders this weekend that I am thinking about and a little further along‚ about staying in with a chance for the play-offs. The Stormers have four home games in their final five fixtures and need to go on a winning spree after losing six of their 11 matches so far this season.They thrashed the Bulls at Loftus last week but struggled to a home draw against the Sharks the week before that. Etzebeth though‚ wasn’t about to judge the Crusaders on either of those games in isolation.
“They are the most difficult challenge you can have in Super Rugby. Playing against them is like playing for the Springboks against the All Blacks.“The Crusaders line speed is something you have to adapt to‚ but you never know – they might come with a completely different plan this weekend."We will look at how we performed against them last year – and other games this year – to see where we went wrong and where we were good.
