Gary Botha is a Springboks international hooker who is currently contracted to the Blue Bulls province and the Bulls Super Rugby franchise in South Africa.
He has won the Currie Cup with the Blue Bulls, the Super 14 title with the Bulls and was part of the Springbok squad that won the 2007 Rugby World Cup.
Botha began his Super Rugby career with the Sharks in 2003 before switching to his home union in 2004. A move to English Premiership side Harlequins followed in 2007 where he enjoyed a two-year spell before agreeing a return to the Blue Bulls in 2009.
He joined French champions Toulouse in the summer of 2011 but broke his right leg later in the year, ruling him out of action for four months.
