New Sharks recruit Renaldo Bothma was the big winner at last night’s Steval Puma’s awards ceremony, scooping the three biggest prizes available.
Bothma, who has signed a Super Rugby contract with the Durban union for the 2015 and 2016 seasons (while still contracted to the Pumas for Currie Cup rugby) was named the Vodacom Cup Player of the Year, Currie Cup Player of the Year and 2014 Player of the Year at a function in Nelspruit last night.
With both Super Rugby for the Sharks and World Cup participation in Namibian colours in store for 2015, Bothma has his sights set on an even better 12 months to come.
Congrats Renaldo!

Congrats big guy
Now THAT is the player you need to sign! Well done Renaldo, well done sharks.
Did anyone else win anything or were those all the awards? haha
Getting that warm feeling when a decision is proved to be the correct one.
Not suprised at all. It took one game for me to realize that this guy is special and I want him to be a SHARK! He then spent the rest of the season reaffirming my earlier decision. Well done big guy.
@SheldonK (Comment 3) : there were others but I didn’t bother with them. They are on a hundred other sites
In with the new and a very sad goodbye to Gawie Visagie who I read has passed away, losing a battle with cancer. RIP Gawie, a true (transformed) Natal rugby man who had the ultimate backward pass.
CONGRATS, RENALDO!!!
@robdylan (Comment 6) : haha ok good, just thought the other players wud be a bit bummed if no other prizes were on offer
