VIDEO: Eben Etzebeth performs the Haka with All Blacks players
To defeat your enemy, you must become your enemy.
If there is one thing you can always count on, it's that the Springboks will never disappoint us.
They might lose a game here or there, but this team has brought so much joy, laughter, and pride to South Africans over the last few years, we can't stay mad at them for too long.

Some of them have also become social media sensations.
One moment that will live on in memory for quite some time is Eben Etzebeth's renaming to 'Elizabedi' during the Rugby World Cup. The name has stuck, and even some of his fellow Springboks have started calling him by his new nickname.

Now Etzebeth has featured in another viral moment, this time featuring some rugby opponents.
The Springboks will play their arch rivals, the All Blacks, on Saturday, 31 August, at Ellis Park in the first of two test matches.
Etzebeth was only cleared and confirmed as part of the team on Friday, 30 August, but it seems like he has had some time to hang out with a few All Blacks players ahead of the game.

In a viral social media video, Etzebeth is joined by two New Zealand rugby players, Liam Messam and Ardie Savea.
With the Springboks currently preparing to take on the All Blacks, it is probably not a recent video as it seems like the players were just hanging out.

Messam and Savea then proceed to show Etzebeth a few Haka moves while the South African watches on.

Some viewers confirmed what most of us were probably thinking while watching Eben attempt to do the Haka...
As a Saffa, I am happy the big guy is on our side. Just a scary scene when he mirrored the Haka.

While they might be serious rivals on the field, it is nice to see the good sportsmanship between these two iconic teams.
