Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Defensive anchor in the tight

Across 23 Super Rugby appearances, Botha's output is defined by his workrate in defence, averaging seven tackles per match and topping out at 20 in a single game — figures that point to a prop heavily relied upon to hold the line rather than carry ball. His carrying numbers are modest, suggesting his primary function is in the set piece and at the breakdown rather than as a ball-running threat. The consistency of his minutes across the dataset indicates he is a trusted, durable presence in the front row.
