Rugby: Le Roux will become the eighth Springbok to reach 100 Tests on Saturday

# Rugby: Willie le Roux will become the eighth Springbok centurion when they play Italy in the second Test in Gqeberha on Saturday. The team will be captained by Salmaan Moerat while Siya Kolisi continues his recovery from injury. Three players – Jasper Wiese’s brother, Cobus, Asenathi Ntlabakanye and Ethan Hooker – could make their debuts from the bench, and Manie Libbok and Grant Williams are the new half-back pairing. Coach Rassie Erasmus says Le Roux is a fantastic playmaker and he’s thrilled to see him achieve this incredible feat.
