Former Springbok lock Bakkies Botha has been ruled out of rugby for up to eight weeks after fracturing an eye socket during a Heineken Cup match this weekend.
Sport24.com reports that Botha has been ruled out for two months and will have to undergo surgery. The injury was picked up in Toulon’s 62 – 0 win over Sale Sharks.
Botha recently extended his contract with the French club, continuing to feature in most of their Top 14 matches, as well as starting all their Heineken Cup matches.

No doubt picked up the injury while trying to headbutt someone and getting his aim wrong…
Do you know what happend? Maybe it’s karma giving him some payback.
Live by the sword and all of that.
They di absolutely murder Sale though… Toulon looking quite good in the HC.
