VIDEO: Why Bok joined the Cheetahs

WATCH as Springboks loose forward Jacques Potgieter revealed the reason why he signed for the Cheetahs.

The 34-year-old signed a one-year contract with the Cheetahs in February.

Potgieter, who spent most of the past few years on the sidelines with injuries, passed a fitness test before being offered a contract.

Having played all three of his Tests in 2012, he started out with the Sharks, then moved to the Eastern Province Kings, before joining the Bulls – where he became a Bok.

He fell out of favour with Bok coach Heyneke Meyer and joined the Waratahs, where he won a Super Rugby title in 2015. He had stints with the Blues in Japan and the Durban-based Sharks, before rejoining Bulls.
