Pin It

Full Name: Mouritz J. Botha
Born: Jan 29, 1982,Vryheid
Squad: Saracens
Position: Lock
Age: 30
Height:1.98m (6'6")
Weight: 115kg (18st 1lb)
Caps: 3
Major Teams: England Saxons, Saracens, England

Mouritz Botha started the 2009/10 season having just signed from National League One side Bedford Blues, but just two years later he had lifted the Premiership title and named in England's World Cup training squad.

The 6ft 6in lock forward was one of the cornerstones of the Bedford Blues pack where he made 57 appearances after joining the club in 2006 after being spotted rising through the ranks at Bedford Athletic.

Botha was one of the Blues’ stand-out players in recent seasons and his performances also earned him a call-up to the East Midlands side for the traditional Mobbs Memorial match against the Barbarians in 2009.

Those performances since joining Saracens have continued to impress – so much so that the English-qualified forward finished the 2010/11 campaign with a call-up for England Saxons and making his England debut in a World Cup warm up match against Wales.

Tim Tebow Biography

Tim Tebow or Timothy Tebow was born on August 14, 1987. Tim Tebow is an American football quarterback for the Denver Broncos. He was drafted by the Broncos in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. Tim Tebow played college football at FLorida Gators. Tim Tebow has been referred to as "A Walking Freight Truck". Tim Tebow is a highly-touted quarterback known for his ability to run and pass. Tim Tebow played quarterback for Nease High School in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, where he became a Division I-A recruit and ranked among the top quarterback prospects in the nation. In his first season with the Gators, Tim Tebow became an integral part of Urban Meyer's offense as backup to starter Chris Leak as well as a key player in certain situations, providing a hard-to-defend "dual threat" as both a runner and a passer. Coach Meyer has described Tim Tebow as the "sparkplug" of the Gator offense, providing a much needed jolt at just the right time during the games. As a true freshman, Tim Tebow's contribution helped the Gators win college football's national championship game for the first time since 1996.

Despite having parental and sibling ties to the University of Florida, Tim remained open minded during the recruiting process and became very close to Alabama coach Mike Shula. But after careful consideration and much deliberation, he decided to play for the team he felt best suited his skills and style of play. Tim Tebow chose to play for coach Urban Meyer and the Florida Gators, who employ a similar “spread option” offense that he excelled in at Nease High School.

Tim Tebow was considered one of the nation’s top recruits and was the subject of an ESPN “Faces in Sports” documentary. The segment was titled "Tim Tebow: The Chosen One", and focused on Tim’s homeschool controversy and missionary work in the Philippines, as well as his exploits on the field of play and the college recruiting process. Tim Tebow was also featured in Sports Illustrated on the “Faces in the Crowd” page. On January 7, 2007, Tim Tebow was featured prominently in an ESPN “Outside The Lines” feature on homeschooled athletes seeking equal access to high school athletics in other states. In fact, his popularity inspired "equal access" supporters in Alabama to name their bill in the Alabama Legislature "The Tim Tebow Bill". The bill, which is pending in the Alabama Legislature, will allow Alabama home school athletes to play for their local high school teams just as Tim Tebow did in Florida.
