Blue Bulls hooker Gary Botha on Wednesday withdrew from the South African ”A” squad’s tour to Argentina.
Botha, who many rugby pundits thought was unlucky not to be selected for the Springbok squad, said he still wants to play for his country.
”To play for South Africa is still a big ideal and ambition of mine,” said Botha.
”As a result of personal reasons which do not allow me to leave the country at this stage, I am forced to withdraw from the South African ‘A’ tour to Argentina.
”I wish them all of the best.” — Sapa
