Springboks brace for unpredictable Pumas in Kings Park battle
The Star
|September 22, 2025
VETERAN Willie le Roux will be part of the Springboks' preparations for the crucial Test against Argentina in Durban until Wednesday.
-
After initially being dropped from the 33-player squad ahead of the final two matches of the Rugby Championship, Bok head coach Rassie Erasmus has decided to call on Le Roux's experience to help prepare the players for Saturday's clash at Kings Park (kick-off 5.10pm).
The Boks face Los Pumas in the coastal city before heading to London for the final Test at Twickenham next Saturday a match that could likely decide the Rugby Championship title.
Le Roux linked up with the world champions on Sunday after being released by the Bulls.
He will return to the Pretoria side following the conclusion of the Boks' training block on Wednesday and will be available for their United Rugby Championship (URC) opener against the Ospreys at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.
