Sharks-legende Botes in NWU-kamp
Sharks-legende Jacques Botes is as deel van Burger van der Westhuizen se afrigtingspersoneel vir die naderende klubrugbykompetisies gekontrakteer, wat – in die lig van sy uitgebreide ervaring – waarskynlik ’n baie slim aanstelling is.

Memorable exploits on the cricket pitch can take many forms.
