Marnitz Louis Boshoff (born 11 January 1989) is a South African rugby union footballer. His regular playing position is fly-half. He previously played for the Griquas and the Blue Bulls in the Currie Cup.
Career
He joined the Golden Lions for 2013.[1]
He played in both legs of the Lions' promotion/relegation matches after the 2013 Super Rugby season,[2][3] which saw the Lions regain their spot in Super Rugby.
He was then included in the Lions squad for the 2014 Super Rugby season[4] and made his Super Rugby debut in a man-of-the-match performance in the opening match of the season, scoring all the Lions' points – including a last-minute drop goal – to help them beat the Cheetahs 21–20 in Bloemfontein.[5][6]
Representative rugby
In May 2014, Boshoff was one of eight uncapped players that were called up to a Springbok training camp prior to the 2014 mid-year rugby union tests.[7] Although not initially selected in the 36-man squad,[8] Boshoff was called up to the squad when Damian de Allende suffered a knee ligament injury.[9]
