Oosthuizen has featured across Challenge Cup and United Rugby Championship rugby, logging over 1,300 minutes and building a reputation as a consistent, high-volume contributor at lock. His tackle numbers stand out most — averaging over five per match and reaching 13 in a single game — marking him as a reliable defensive presence in the engine room. He carries with purpose rather than volume, but his peak outputs of 12 carries and 36 metres in a match show he can shoulder a bigger physical load when called upon.
Born on 22 December 1992, Etienne is 33 years old, stands 198cm (6′6″) tall and weighs 128kg.
