A bid to lure Le Roux away from Wasps has failed - reports
By Online Editors
The Bulls have failed to sign Springbok fullback Willie Le Roux from English club Wasps.
The Pretoria side were hoping to bring in Le Roux ahead of next year’s Super Rugby tournament. However, Blue Bulls Company high-performance manager Xander Janse van Rensburg told the Rapport newspaper that “Wasps will not release Willie from his contract”.
The Bulls have already brought in big names Duane Vermeulen and Schalk Brits ahead of next year’s Super Rugby tournament.
Meanwhile, the Bulls’ hopes of signing prop Maks van Dyk from Toulouse. were also dashed.
The 26-year-old Van Dyk, who previously played for Griquas and the Free State Cheetahs, decided to sign a one-year contract extension with the French club.
The Bulls recently named Pote Human as their head coach for Super Rugby following John Mitchell’s departure. The Bulls begin their Super Rugby campaign against the Stormers at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on Saturday, February 16.

So if this ain’t the best Irish team ever then who exactly is? I don’t remember any other Irish team being this good & winning a series in the Land of the Long White Cloud. Yes I may rip them often for 8 X QF RWC exits & twice not even making it to the QF, but they’re a damn good team who many think can only improve, including me!
Go to commentsNot a squeek out of Leinster for weeks about this match. So quiet. The first team have been quitely building for this encounter under Nienaber’s direction. All fresh, all highly motivated. They are expecting a season’s best performance from Northhampton. They will match that. They will be fresher and apparently they will have 80,000 out of the 83,000 shouting for them. I do expect Northhampton to turn up big time. Not to be missed. On a tangent it is evident how the loss of a few Premiership teams has in some respect helped other Premiership teams and England. More quality over less teams makes the teams better, which has a knock on effect on England. Not the only factor contributing to England’s rise but one of them.
