Saracens have completed a deal for Bedford Blues lock Mouritz Botha.

Botha, 27, moves to Vicarage Road where he will add to the Guinness Premiership side’s second row resources following several seasons of establishing a strong reputation.

He has made 57 appearances for Bedford Blues having signed for them from Bedford Athletic in 2006, after which he proved to be a real star and Saracens incoming Director of Rugby Brendan Venter has said of the club’s latest addition: “His attitude is fantastic.

"Mouritz has all the attributes to make an excellent contribution next season.”

"I know for a fact that Alan didn't do it". What the hell? Everyone saw what happened. There's no doubt at all. It it was a clear, deliberate, cynical, text-book eye-gouging. These kinds of remark are getting ridiculous but what's shocking is the calibre of some of the ex-players who are making them. Terrible message to younger players.

Can the Lions win in South Africa?

Yes: 69%
No: 31%
