Robert Ebersohn
Robert Thompson Ebersohn is a rugby union and Sevens player from South Africa. He has played for the Springboks Sevens, South Africa Under 20 and made his Super 14 debut for the Cheetahs in 2010. When participating in the 15-man format of rugby, his preferred position is centre although he has been employed as a fullback on various occasions.
Ebersohn has made over 100 appearances for the Cheetahs in all competitions. However, it was announced that he would leave Bloemfontein at the end of the 2013 Currie Cup Premier Division season and join French side Montpellier for the 2013–14 Top 14 season.The Ebersohn twins are the sons of Tiaan Ebersohn, a center who played for the Free State and Western Province. The twins were born and raised in Bloemfontein, South Africa and schooled at Grey College. Here they climbed the ranks and eventually presented the Free State schools team at the national Coca-Cola Craven Week. Fame came fast as they were chosen to present South Africa at the IRB Junior World Championship. Both players were quickly grabbed into the Free State Cheetahs rugby squad.
They played side-by-side from school level to Super Rugby level until Sias joined Australian side the Western Force in 2013 and Robert joined Montpellier a few months later.Religion
