Le Roux on the brink of 100 caps as Springboks kick off Test season
The Mercury
|July 04, 2025
VETERAN Willie le Roux is set to earn his 99th cap for the Springboks off the bench tomorrow against Italy, with his century to follow shortly thereafter according to Bok mentor Rassie Erasmus.
If all goes to plan in the first Test against the Italians and he is fit, Le Roux could run out in Gqeberha for his hundredth game for the national team. However, there is also a Georgia Test in Nelspruit where he could feature to get him to the milestone.
Erasmus has set certain targets for the Boks over the next three games. Should they reach their first tomorrow at Loftus Versfeld (5pm kickoff), the home ground of Le Roux, the fullback will be on the verge of joining a select group of Springboks who have played in 100 Test matches.
