As a result, the concussion protocol will rule Etzebeth out until the end of February.

“Rugby Club Toulonnais wishes Eben Etzebeth a speedy recovery,” the French club said in a statement.
However, it would also be understandable if Toulon were somewhat frustrated after losing the services of a big-money recruit such as Etzebeth, who has barely featured for the club to date.
