‘I’m very comfortable that he will understand what we want to do,’ Bulls coach Jake White said about having Willie le Roux at flyhalf. Photo: BackpagePixNot only will Willie le Roux’s wizardry on attack be vital for the Bulls at flyhalf against the Stormers , but it is also his leadership ability that will be harnessed at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday .

“I rate him highly enough and I think we need his voice there, without Ruan as our captain and Elrigh there.
