Eben set for return after ban ends

The Sharks’ surge towards the top 8 in the Vodacom URC playoffs will be boosted by the imminent return of Eben Etzebeth. The Springbok lock is closing in on the end of his 12-week suspension after being found guilty of eye-gouging Alex Mann during the Boks’ final Test of the 2025 season. Etzebeth has been sidelined ever since that match – a 73-0 win – and has missed 11 games for the Sharks, including fixtures in both the Investec Champions Cup and the United Rugby Championship. POLL: How many SA teams will make URC playoffs? Friday night’s clash against Cardiff at Kings Park will mark the final match of his suspension, leaving him free to return for next week’s Challenge Cup round of 16 encounter against Connacht. It’s a timely boost for head coach JP Pietersen as his side head into a crucial stretch of the season. Currently sitting 11th on the URC standings, the Sharks face an uphill battle to break into the top eight – likely needing to win out to keep their playoff hopes alive. A strong finish could prove vital ahead of Pietersen’s first full season in charge, with Champions Cup qualification still within reach. There is also an alternative route back into Europe’s premier competition: defending their Challenge Cup crown, a title the Sharks secured in the 2023/24 season. ALSO: JP sweats on Siya injury Etzebeth’s return can’t come soon enough. The Sharks are currently dealing with a growing injury list, with several Springboks unavailable, including Aphelele Fassi, Bongi Mbonambi, Grant Williams and Siya Kolisi. The post Eben set for return after ban ends appeared first on SA Rugby magazine.
