The following year, he received a call-up to the South African Under-19 squad for the 2007 Under 19 Rugby World Championship in Ireland.
He continued to represent the Golden Lions at youth level, playing for their Under-19s in national championships in 2007 and for the Under-21s in 2008 and 2009. He also played for UJ in the 2008 and 2010 Varsity Cup competitions, scoring four tries in eight appearances.
Senior career
Botha was included in the Golden Lions squad for the 2008 Vodacom Cup competition,[2] but failed to make an appearance, despite being named as a substitute for their match against the Natal Wildebeest.[3]
Once again named in their Vodacom Cup squad in 2009, Botha duly made his first class debut by starting in their match against the Pumas in Randfontein.[4] He made seven starts in totao and weighed in with four tries during that tournament.
Following two more appearances in the 2010 Vodacom Cup, Botha was then included in the Lions squad for the 2010 Super 14 season. He made two substitute appearances, against the Force in Johannesburg[5] and against the Cheetahs in Welkom.[6]
