The young Springbok fan who went viral for his hilarious nickname for Eben Etzebeth has met some of the victorious players. 

Mzwandile Stick, the Springboks' backline coach, posted an image on his Instagram page this morning with the youngster Siya Dlamini.

He commented: “My video of the year #ELIZABEDI 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ungambambi 🙏🙏.”

The viral video shared on the TikTok account of @Iwa_ziii shows a young fan watching the Springboks take on France in the nail-biting quarter-final of the 2023 Rugby World Cup. He screams “Elizabedi” in reference to Etzebeth when the number 4 scores a crucial try.

Since the video was shared, the funny nickname has stuck, even seeing Bok captain Siya Kolisi calling Etzebeth by the name.
