Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Defensive anchor at the tighthead

Across 87 appearances Tom Botha has built a profile defined by his work in defence, averaging over four tackles per match and accumulating 375 in total across the Challenge Cup and United Rugby Championship. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting the limited ball-carrying demands typically placed on a tighthead prop, though peaks of five carries and twelve tackles in a single game show he can step up when called upon. His consistency over more than 4000 minutes on the field points to a player who contributes reliably through the grind of set-piece and contact rather than through headline statistics.
