PLAYER WRITE-UP
BJ Botha is a specialist tighthead prop who has plied his trade for Munster and Ulster in Ireland over the past couple of years. He answered an emergency call to join the Boks on the 2009 European tour after a spate of injuries in the front-row and was part of the Springbok squad in 2010. Botha, a Rugby World Cup winner in 2007, is short, stocky and powerful, proving a handful for his opponents.
