The hard-running, hard-tackling Potgieter used his debut Super Rugby season to great effect and played himself into the Springbok squad, earning caps in the process. A groin injury hampered his progress, forcing him into an operation which resulted in him missing the end of year tour. This break could prove very beneficial and the former EP Kings player could again be one of his team’s best players.
