Vodacom Blue Bulls - Bulls add Potgieter, Botha to roster
Potgieter just returned from France following stints with Bayonne and Dax, while Botha, who has worked with the union’s junior teams in the past, will now also act as mentor, counsellor and life skills coach to the senior squad.
“Jacques-Louis has some very valuable assets that he brings to the squad. He is vastly experienced, having played for three franchises and experienced the Top14 in France. He is a reliable and accurate kicker, can play in most positions in the backline and brings some stability into our youthful backline,” Ludeke said.
“Importantly also, he has been part of the Bulls in the past. He knows the culture, work ethic and drive to improve, so will slot in without any hassles.”
The BBC’s High Performance Manager, Xander Janse van Rensburg, also confirmed the addition of sports psychologist and mental coach, Dr. Jannie Botha, to the Vodacom Bulls management team.
BBC CEO Barend van Graan sees the inclusion of Dr. Botha as an important step in the BBC’s drive to develop the rugby player as a person as well.
“Dr. Botha has been working with our junior teams since 2012 and proved to be very successful, hence the decision to bring him on board to the benefit of all our teams. His life skills coaching, mentoring and counselling ability is well known and respected and I am very pleased that our players will benefit from this."

Ek stem saam dat ons dun is op heelagter maar ek het ook n probleem met n backup fetcher vir Stegman. Ek mag verkeerd wees maar sien nie vir Jono Ross in die rol van n fetcher nie

Wat die foto hierbo met die berig te doen het, weet ek nie lekker nie.

Ja nee Jimmy ek ok nie,toe ek die opskrif lees en sien Botha toe dog ek dis Bakkies,maar nou ja hoop die dokter voeg waarde by tot die die bulle se structure.
Ja-Nee Jimmy, Ek haat dit om te kla oor goeters wat op die oog af na onbenullighede lyk maar hierdie webblad is vir my bietjie van 'n pretbederwer. Die vorige blog was ligjare beter en die website eintlik ook.
Maar nou ja.......

Wie van die bloggers het toegang tot die web meester? Ons moet dringend met hom gesels so dat die blog reg is voor S15 begin!
Jessie Kriel sal ons deurhaak op 15. Met Jurgens en Kriel daar en selfs Beyers en Sampie is ons OK. Ja jonk maar ok.

Bloukaap ek stem ten volle saam met jou. Die probleem is dat dit nie so maklik is om van n speler n fetcher te maak nie, en Ross het glad nie die ligaamsbou van n fetcher nie. Wat Du Plessis aanbetref kort hy werklik n bietjie aggressie, dis so asof sy hart te klein is vir sy liggaam. As ek dit nie mis het nie het Jacques Louis al n wedstryd of wat binnesenter gespeel en nie te vrot daar gedoen nie. Hy kan op die bank daar diens doen en ook heelagter dek.
