Steve Botha, the Maritzburg College Rugby Administrator and Backline Coach during the 2012 season has been snapped up by the Sharks Academy. Botha will head to the United Arab Emirates shortly to take up a brand new coaching position at one of the high performance academies that the Sharks are in the process of setting up. The joint venture between the Sharks and UAE Rugby is aimed at growing and improving rugby in the UAE. Following a worldwide search the Sharks Academy was chosen by the rugby body in the Gulf state because of their outstanding track record in the field of developing players for professional rugby.

@beet: Or promote a young coach to assistant I guess.
@Green Hopper: It seems like this position is yet to be filled. It might present an opportunity for Ryan to bring in someone from outside who buys into his vision because their system is one coach short now.
pity, who will take over ??
Good luck Steve – a lot of good men have been broken in the UAE. But a great rugger culture over there in the expats.
