# Rugby: The Springbok flyhalf from yesteryear, Naas Botha, was appointed director of rugby of US Division One club Kansas City Blues. The 67-year-old played 179 matches for the then Northern Transvaal, scoring two-thousand-511 points. He also contributed 312 points for the Boks in 28 Tests between 1980 and 1992. Botha became a television pundit after his playing days. He and his family relocated to America in March. Kansas City says he will help with player development and strengthening pathways for athletes to compete at national level.
