Sketch in 2002 SA vs England programme

Wessel Gerhardus Roux made his test debut against France a fortnight ago as a replacement for Willie Meyer, who suffered a neck injury and returned to South Africa. His mobility and driving play in the loose, together with safe hands and distribution skills, complement the scrummaging power that has earned him a first Springbok tour to Europe. Played for South Africa Under 21s and A team and developed his career from being on the bench for the Bulls in the Super 12 three years ago.
