Gerhard Petrus Lotter (born 3 January 1993) is a Namibian cricketer and rugby union player.

Rugby career

In rugby union, Lotter usually plays as a hooker, but can also play as an eighth man. He currently plays for Namibian side Template:Rut Welwitschias in the South African Currie Cup qualification series[1] and for Windhoek-based amateur side Wanderers in the Premier League.[2]

He represented Namibia in rugby at youth level since primary school level, as he was included in the Namibia squad that participated at the South African primary schools tournament, the Under-13 Craven Week, held in George in 2006. He was named the captain of the side and scored Namibia's only points in both a 5–38 defeat to Border[3] and a 10–10 draw with Zimbabwe[4] during the competition.

He was also selected to represent Namibia at high school level, playing for them as an eighth man at the 2010 Under-18 Craven Week tournament held in Welkom. He scored two tries – similar to four years earlier, these came in matches against Border Country Districts[5] and Zimbabwe[6] – in their three matches at the tournament. He returned to play in the same competition in 2011, this time held in Kimberley, reverting to his role as a hooker and again scoring a try in their match against Zimbabwe in a 55–18 victory.[7]

He captained the Namibia Under-19 side that won the 2012 African Rugby Under-19 Cup in Zimbabwe, and also represented the Namibia Under-20 side that played at the 2013 IRB Junior World Rugby Trophy held in Chile.[8]

He was included in the Template:Rut Welwitschias squad that played in the 2016 Currie Cup qualification series in South Africa and made his debut for them by starting their opening match of the competition, a 17–32 defeat to a Template:Rut Free State XV in Bloemfontein.[9]
