DURBAN (Reuters) -South Africa forward Eben Etzebeth is back from injury at the perfect time for club and country with the Sharks competing in this weekend’s United Rugby Championship quarter-finals and the Springboks ready to embark on a programme of 13 tests this year.
Etzebeth played his first full match in five months when the Sharks beat Scarlets two weeks ago to secure a top-four place in the URC regular season standings and a home game against Munster in the last eight in Durban on Saturday.
