At least we have Matt Williams' telling us that Botha is coming can't wait for the new season to startSOUTH Afrcan international prop, BJ Botha, is expected to join Ulster in November at the latest.
Ulster coach, Matt Williams, has the majority of his new signings on board, but allayed fears yesterday that the star prop may not after all be coming to the Irish Province.
"At the very latest, he should be here by November," Williams told the News Letter.
"But we are hopeful that he will be in Belfast long before that," he added.
Landing Botha was a major coup for Ulster, and he will be a tremendous boost to the front of the pack.

Re: Botha
Apparently he was at the "Hog" thingy last night, though i can't say i seen him myself unless he had the "Sparky" suit on, which would account for the growth of Sparky over the summer.
Stand up for PICU R.V.H.
Re: Botha
Would have been possible as he did not play last weekend and there are no Sharks games till end of month plus he seems to have dropped from the SA radar.
