Here’s the footage and some reaction on the back page of Bakkies “striking” Phil Waugh.
Sure it’s Bakkies Botha and he deserves what Billy Birmingham (of 12th man fame) describes as “South African Tax” more than most, but honestly this one is a joke! It should never have been cited, let alone sanctioned, and for them to pull out 3 weeks for a push is an absolute shocker.

makes for all the other shit he’s gotten away with over the years
It couldn’t have happened to a nicer prick, no doubt, but this decision is a shocker.
Had they penalised him for his flying shoulder charge into the side of a ruck which knocked Mortlock out for a few weeks in last years Perth 3N match, well that would have been justice.
Ja like in the new SA, kids have to pay for the sins of their fathers.
A rugby player without shite is as good as a netball or poofball player. Sorry they also have sins.
Yep – after all the niggle, infringements and hassle he has caused over the years its good to see he gets collared for stirring. Nice job and hopefully he will concentrate on playing rugby in future – its such a habit I doubt it.
this cant be the footage, the touchy saw an elbow?
murdoch must love bakkies, this isn’t the whole story…
Irrefutable proof there is a thing called karma
Him and Matfield both out for the Brumbies game is even more.
Gagger’s last blog post..Bakkies Botha gets 3 Weeks
I like the Karma angle Matty, but what can you expect, when Wrogathon Crapland is refereeing..?
Passion fingers: everything he touches – he fucks.
That wasn’t the incident he was cited for. The touchie was already on the field making his report when that little spat happened.
that is not the incident it was an elbow in the ruck before
South Africans always get the harsh calls
