Le Roux featured in all six of the Springboks' games during the tournament and his centre partnership with Japie Mulder is credited with helping to shackle the All Blacks. He played much of his early rugby at fly-half - including three of his appearances at RWC'95 - before switching to inside centre for the latter stages of his career. A multiple Currie Cup winner with the Lions, he finally called it a day in 2000. He was later a founding member of SARPA - the South African Rugby Players' Association.
