    Eben, seems like a very nice guy off the field.

    The only guest so far that makes it look like Jim is a normal sized human. The last two with Chris and Mike make it look like he’s taking his kids for a walk.

    As a french guy who despise Toulon , I can only be amazed by Etzebeth , such an outstanding and talented player , one of the best of all time at his post and he's career not over ! Much respect and love

    Love the way that these guys get stares from everyone walking past. Difficult not to notice two giants walking past.

    Always liked his abrasive on field personality grittiness and sheer determination to win seems a humble nice guy off the pitch modern day rugby Union legend

    This is fabulous. Being American I don’t get enough exposure to the amazing people involved in the sport, but this was exactly what I hoped it would be. Jim is fantastic and asks great questions while being respectful. Cheers to him and the producers. Keep em’ coming and wishing my best to everyone. Especially Mr. Etzebeth. Easy gent to root for. Safe travels all!

    Eben referred to his Dad and uncles. One of his uncles was the Western Province rugby legend Cliffy Etsebeth during the 70's/80's era. He was the hardest toughest enforcer on a rugby pitch I have ever seen anywhere in the world. We respect Bakkies Botha, Eben and many others from around the rugby World, but to be frank, I doubt it of any of them would have intimidated Cliffy Etsebeth. RIP Cliffy. ps. Jim man, you are a real pro!!

    I was hoping not to like this guy, but his humility and humour won me over. He seems like a top man. Another great interview from Big Jim

    Quality from Jim yet again. Really enjoyed your development since starting your media career. Proper questioning getting the most out of every opportunity.

    Boet, hou aan wie jy is en wat jy doen vir ons Suid-Afrikaners, jy maak di land trots maak nie saak waar jy is of vir wie jy speel ni! Groete uit Durbanville, Kaapstad! @Eben

    Great interview. Eben is one of my favourite players and it’s great to see him come across as a decent bloke. Big Jim is a hero too, really enjoying his stuff.

    you know French top 14 is scary when Etzebeth is considered "small" 😂😂😂

    Eben right up there with Bakkies and Victor for the best locks to ever play the game

    A true Jekyll and Hyde! Nice man off the pitch; a brute on it.

    Great interview Jim. For a guy that seems quite reserved when he speaks you got loads of good insight from him.

  • @kevinwilliams5873

    Very impressed. Eben, nice guy. I thought you where a real bastard from the stuff on the pitch, but not so much. As for the Scottish guy, as an interviewer you are really quite good, surprisingly good. In this interview no sharp entrance to the comments, as you do in the group forum format. A much more polished and professional stile. It is always nice to see someone do something well.

    I'm a Kiwi, & reckon Etzebeth & Retallick are easily the 2 best locks in the world.
