	Rugby: Naas Botha - SouthAfrica.info
		The Naas Botha of today is a well-known rugby commentator on the South African Supersport Channel, but in his day as a player he was one of the most feared match-winners in the game.
		Botha was best known for his deadly boot — whether he was punting the ball, place-kicking or drop-kicking, he stood in a class of his own.
		Botha was hated by fans of teams that his Northern Transvaal side faced in provincial competition — and adored by those same supporters when he turned out for the Springboks.

		Botha's 12-year-old son Francois sued his father for damages last year, but the court dismissed the R450000 claim, finding that the boy did not have a constitutional right to fatherly love and acceptance.
		Judge K van Dijkhorst sharply criticised Jooste at the time, saying she was the real litigant and the boy was too young to have an inkling of what it was all about.
		Botha objected to the claim from the start, saying he had no legal obligation other than to contribute towards the boy's maintenance.

		Naas Botha, the former Northern Transvaal star, represented some great provincial sides to come out of Pretoria, but he rates the current Blue Bulls team as one of the finest to have emerged from Loftus Versfeld.
		Botha, who went on to captain Northern Transvaal himself, played in the superb team of the late 1970s under the leadership of Thys Lourens.
		Botha acknowledges that Anton Leonard, current Bulls captain, is a key member of the side, as was Lourens in the 1970s, but he insists that the marauding loose forward's absence through injury will not necessarily make things easier for the Cheetahs on Saturday.

		Whereas Naas Botha in his prime was the best flyhalf I've seen in around 35 years of actively following the sport, Dan Carter is now close to challenging him as the best flyhalf of his era.
		Naas Botha had the greatest vision of any rugby player I've seen - an ability to read the game with a helicopter view (similar to Peter Sterling's and Andrew John's abilities in rugby league).
		Naas Botha was, and remains, a class above the rest - a rugby genius who in a number of ways was similar to Barry Richards in cricket.

		PRETORIA -- Rugby celebrity Naas Botha has served his son with a lawyer's letter demanding payment of more than R31000 for outstanding legal fees.
		His attorney Johan Lubbe confirmed the letter, saying that Botha was only claiming R31000 even though his legal expenses were between R45000 and R50000 for an "unnecessary" court case.
		He said Botha had suffered a financial loss and that it was normal procedure to attach someone's goods if the person did not pay up.

		The Naas turned majestically, the rugby ball on the funnel a symbol of the shape of things to come in the re-emerging passenger liner trade in South African waters.
		The Naas Botha was raised by a local salvage company who discovered that in an effort to save generator bills the owners had used a very long extension cord which was plugged into Eskom in Durban, unfortunately it wasn't long enough....

	Naas
		Naas (pronounced [neɪs]; Irish: NГЎs na Riogh [nɑːs nə riː] or An NГЎs [ən nɑːs]) is the county town of County Kildare, Ireland.
		One of the first battles of the rebellion of 1798 took place in Naas on 24 May 1798 when a force of about 1,000 rebels was defeated in an unsuccessful attack on the town.
		Because Ireland was officially neutral during that war, Ireland imprisoned military personnel from any belligerent who ended up in Irish territory; as a result, the P.O.W. camp in Naas housed American, British, and German soldiers all together in the same camp.

	It Was Mentz To Be
		Mentz is no expert sidestepper (like Etienne Botha, for example, or Brent Russell), but the lad is quick as silver and if he gets away through gaps he's unstoppable.
		Naas did brilliant work with Derick Hougaard for the U-21 team, and it's what the man does (or did, rather) - he kicks.
		Our kicking in the Super 12 was abysmal in all forms (from place kicking to touch kicking to tactical kicking), and Bolla Conradie in particular has a nasty little box kick which he insists on persisting with come hell or high water, despite a gain advantage of exactly nought percent.

		Aside from Naas Botha’s obvious one eyed bias for anything resembling a Blue Bull, he has an intimate understanding of the game and would be an invaluable asset to the Bok setup.

		Although Hougaard, who hails from the town of Piketberg in the Western Cape, would be loath to admit any similarities between him and the former Springbok captain Botha, they are there, and quite striking at that.
		Like Botha all those years ago, Hougaard also has a prodigious boot, kicking penalties from every angle on the field.
		One thing is certain, he may not be blond like Naas Botha, but if Derick Hougaard carries on like he has been playing over the past few weeks, he may just become the new hero of Loftus.
