Jake nods, Willie's an option at 10
Bulls coach Jake White, speaking on the rugby podcast 'To The Last Drop', has kept his options open and is considering Willie le Roux for the
flyhalf position in Saturday's United Rugby Championship clash against
the Stormers in Cape Town.
Jake White sang Willie le Roux's praises on the latest episode of 'To The Last Drop', highlighting the Bok fullback's match-winning performance against the Lions at Ellis Park.
White said he knows what Le Roux offers the Bulls and that they need him to go into "that position".
John Dobson, Stormers director of rugby, told hosts Brenden Nel and Liam Del Carme that it's difficult to plan when he doesn't know where Le Roux will be deployed on Saturday.
White made it clear that the Bulls are just as determined as the
Stormers to secure a positive result and is eager to lead his team in
front of a crowd of over 40,000.
Brenden and Liam also look ahead to this weekend's upcoming Six Nations matches, predicting wins for France, Italy and Ireland respectively.
