One of South Africa's most reliable playmakers, Jacque-Louis Potgieter was a key part of the successful Free State Cheetahs side which made it all the way to the 2009 Currie Cup final.
Born and raised in Pretoria, Potgieter began his career at the Bulls before moving across to Bloemfontein and establishing himself in Naka Drotske's side.
