SuperSport pundit Nick Mallett breaks down Willie le Roux's sparkling Springbok performance on the weekend during The Final Whistle.
The veteran fullback was at his best during the Boks’ 43-12 trouncing of the Wallabies at Loftus Versfeld in the opening round of the Rugby Championship on Saturday.
In the clip from the popular magazine show The Final Whistle, former Bok coach Mallett highlights moments le Roux stood tall for the world champions.
🗣️ "He was very useful for Canan Moodie and Arendse in that he controlled the back field so well!"
