Eben Etzebeth<\/a> sent an emphatic message to farcical World Rugby that he’s the best player in the world with a colossal performance in the Springboks’ dramatic 27-26 defeat to England at Twickenham<\/a> on Saturday, writes Quintin van Jaarsveld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The teams treated fans, 82 000 of whom packed the home of English rugby to the rafters, to a classic clash that went down to the wire, with young flyhalf Marcus Smith sinking the world champions with a penalty goal in the final minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Days after no Springbok or All Blacks player found their names on the shortlist for World Rugby’s Player of the Year award, one of the leading candidates who were inexplicably overlooked ensured the sport’s governing body was made to look like fools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh of a Man of the Match performance at Murrayfield, where the world champions beat Scotland 30-15, Etzebeth was a tour de force at Twickenham, outmuscling, outworking and outsmarting Maro Itoje, whose name is on the widely condemned list, along with France scrumhalf Antoine Dupont and Wallabies duo Michael Hooper and Samu Kerevi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etzebeth was phenomenal in every aspect of the game. On top of delivering vintage disciplined destruction, the Springbok behemoth produced several big plays in an 80-minute performance for the ages. He somehow sensationally regained a box kick in the 14th minute, charged down a kick that led to a crucial penalty in the 61st minute and made a stunning break in the final 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
