Robert Thompson Ebersohn (born 23 February 1989) is a rugby union and Sevens professional player from South Africa.

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.[4] They played side-by-side from school level to Super Rugby level[2][5][6] until Sias joined Australian side the Western Force in 2013 and Robert joined Montpellier a few months later.
