We’re pretty sure there’s only one winger in the world who would dare engage in a game of slaps with giant Stormers and South Africa lock Eben Etzebeth.

That man, of course, is Julian Savea.

The Hurricanes and Stomers, in what sounds like a weathermans wet dream, faced off earlier today and Etzebeth and Savea came to blows in a heated exchange.

It was nothing more than handbags between the two, though, and Savea will have had the last laugh as his Hurricanes side ran out 25-20 winners, their seventh straight win of the Super Rugby season.

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.
