Across five Currie Cup appearances as a replacement, Botha's output is defined by his tackling — 14 tackles in 136 minutes points to a player who contributes immediately on defence when introduced. His carrying is limited and functional rather than a primary weapon, though a single-game peak of 6 carries and 7 tackles shows he can lift his involvement significantly when called upon. His profile is that of a reliable, defence-first impact player from the bench.
