Eben Etzebeth, so often a wrecking ball of a lock in the loose, was served a taste of his own medicine by Ireland and Leinster lock Mike McCarthy in a 2012 autumn international between Ireland and South Africa.
McCarthy, in a collision that was sure to have caused tremors at the other side of the world, smashed into his fellow lock like a rampaging bull and unceremoniously toppled the Stormers lock to the ground.
No, you’re not hallucinating and, yes, that actually happened. Yeah, the actual Eben Etzebeth.
