Springbok and Bulls loose-forward Arno Botha is accustomed to not playing for six-month periods.

The sport in SA returns on the field when the four Super Rugby franchises face off on Saturday in the Super Fan Saturday event at Loftus Versfeld‚ which will be SA Rugby’s first on-field event since March after the Covid-19 and lockdown hiatus.

Botha‚ who grew up in the Bulls system before moving around Europe‚ is accustomed to long spells out of the game because of injury.“Three times in my life‚ I’ve been in a position where I didn’t play rugby for six months or more‚” Botha said."If you don’t have vision‚ or goals‚ you’re not going to train or stay fit. If you have those‚ you will."It’s not like I feel any different from the time I played my last game with Munster in March‚ but I’ll see how I feel come Saturday.

Botha has been playing well enough in Europe to turn heads‚ but the South Africa loose-forward’s stocks haven’t always quite allowed him to make a clean break."It’s not something that I focus on each day‚ even though it’s at the back of my mind. We’ll see how it pans out that Saturday‚ even though I don’t know when the final thing is‚” he said.“I do think it’s a very good idea to get guys back in the game. It’s very exciting‚ that I can tell you and it motivates me to work harder.

In the time that Botha left the Bulls‚ they’ve gone through multiple coaches and changes to playing styles. His activity with Munster meant he didn’t have time to keep an eye on the Bulls‚ but he seems to like what he sees under new director of rugby Jake White."I haven’t played here in a while‚ so I don’t know how the Bulls have played in any case. I’m pretty sure it’s going to be good rugby‚” Botha said.
