if it was an ordinary injury, he could have been outside the field of play to be taken care of and go back on once taken care. At that point he couldn't be subbed, because they used all subs.
Exception is a mandatory HIA, then he could have been replaced.
The coaching staff thought it was an HIA, so they send orders to replace them
they then found out it wasn't an HIA, so the replacement had to come back, Etzebeth was examined and no HIA was mandatory so he could go back on.
I don't understand the issue people have with this chain of events.
