Across 42 matches Botha sustains a heavy dual workload, averaging over seven carries and seven tackles per game — a balance that points to a genuine all-round back-row presence rather than a specialist in either phase. His single-game peaks of 15 carries and 19 tackles show he can absorb an even greater share of the contest when the match demands it. With more than 1000 metres gained from 315 carries, he consistently generates go-forward at the gain line across multiple competitions.
