"I was thinking 'am I letting my team down now? If they score now or we lose it's going to be on me because I got a yellow'," Le Roux said after the match. "But luckily it didn't work out like that and I owe the guys a beer."
Le Roux ranked his side's performance highly when asked how it compares to other efforts in the green jersey.
"There have been quite a few good performances before, but all week we have been saying it was for us; us 23 playing, the management, all the guys travelling with us and training with us. It's just about putting pride back in the jersey and making the people back home proud."
A mammoth defensive effort proved to be a deciding factor in the victory, but the Springboks were still able to capitalise on their chances with ball in hand as they ran in five tries.
"Yes, there are games where you try a lot and it doesn't work out and there are games when you get one or two opportunities and you take them and you win the game," he said. "I think the All Blacks, when they switch on and you lose your concentration for one second, that's when they capitalise. That's why they're so dangerous so you can't give them any space or any opportunities.
"They roll the dice but they've been winning all their games," he said. "It's just about being awake for the scraps and the ball is bouncing.''
After the match le Roux was asked if it felt like he hit the lottery after the aforementioned Barrett throw-in went astray.
"I was actually going for the tackle full-on. I was going down to tackle [Ioane] and I think the ball back-spun into me. Like I said, luck of the bounce," said le Roux.
"I ran and went to score the try but I thought the touch judge was calling me back or something because I didn't know what was going on, I don't score many tries. It's a nice feeling. Maybe I could say I won the lottery there."
The Springboks now head home and will host the Wallabies at Port Elizabeth on September 30th. Le Roux may have played his last match of the Rugby Championship as he heads to the UK to re-join Premiership club Wasps.

Fine wine and crypto do not always blend well, especially after a few drinks. I learned this the hard way after a record harvest at my vineyard. Swirling an old Cabernet under the stars, I was a financial connoisseur, my $720,000 Bitcoin wallet aging well for future returns. But the next morning, with a hangover as intense as my Merlion, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet password. Even worse, my recovery phrase, which I'd written down in my wine cellar notebook, had vanished. My eager new assistant had tidied up, mistaking my scribbled security notes for wine tasting spillage, and donated the entire book to the recycling gods. I dove into the garbage cans like a desperate sommelier searching for a quality grape but came up with broken dreams and soggy cardboard. Panic set in faster than cork taint. I faced the bitter truth: my digital fortune was bottled up tighter than a corked bottle with no opener. I sank into denial, questioning whether my future vineyard expansion would now be reduced to selling boxed wine. I panicked, pored over industry publications, and came across a wine industry newsletter that mentioned Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Their slogan, something playful about "decanting lost crypto," seemed like a sign from God. I contacted them, half-expecting snobbery or skepticism. What I received instead were tech wizards who tackled my case with humor and precision. Their team labored over my case like veteran sommeliers dissecting terroir. They painstakingly reconstructed transaction flows, timestamp records, and subtle wallet behavior. It was as if I was watching wine connoisseurs sniff out hints of blackcurrant and oak, but with algorithms and blockchain forensics. Each day, they provided updates with the finesse of tasting notes. “We’re detecting progress, notes of potential access, hints of password recovery on the finish.” Their creativity lightened my anxiety, and ten days later, they uncorked my digital vault. When I saw my Bitcoin balance restored, I nearly opened a bottle of my best vintage at 9 AM. My assistant and I shared a hearty laugh; he's still working for me, but now he labels my ledgers with "DO NOT TOUCH" in bold. My wine business is thriving thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, and I have a new rule: passwords before Pinot. Cheers to their genius!
