Botha is the hard man in the Springbok pack, the archetypal enforcer. He's regarded as the best number four lock in the world getting through a mountain of work and providing a physical presence at around the rucks. His presence also serves as powerful motivating factor for the Boks. He is a natural leader, both through actions and words. He is a powerful ball carrier, provides a go-to option at the front of the line-out and often pops up in support in loose play, showcasing his more subtle skill of anticipation.
