BAKKIES BOTHA IS a rare breed in rugby. The enforcer dishes out a fair bit of punishment from Toulon’s second row but he has also shown a remarkable pain threshold over the years.
Earlier in the season he got a punch to the nose but he seem to revel in the physicality.
Today, he broke his finger in Toulon’s 32-23 win over Racing Metro and once again, he seemed to shrug his shoulders even with his finger bent at an unnatural angle.
