Stormers Wary Of Willie Le Roux Threat For Bulls As Manie Libbok Misses Training

The Stormers find themselves on high alert regarding the potential impact of veteran flyhalf Willie le Roux in Saturdays United Rugby Championship North-South Derby against the Bulls in Cape Town.

With Director of Rugby Jake White preparing to roll the dice with his selection, there is a cloud of uncertainty surrounding where Le Roux, a 98-cap Springbok, will line up at the Cape Town Stadium 2pm start.

Le Rouxs prowess as a playmaker has proven to be a game-changer, particularly following his recent appearance off the bench against the Lions, where he spearheaded a remarkable turnaround for the Bulls.

Whether he dons the No 10 jersey or plays in his more familiar fullback position, the Stormers know they must devise strategies to neutralise a player whose talent has garnered him acclaim both locally and internationally.

The DHL Stadium is heading for a sell-out, with around 5 000 tickets left for the clash on Wednesday.
