Le Roux to remain at Wasps

Springbok and Wasps fullback Willie Le Roux will not be joining the Bulls from Wasps.

Le Roux missed a good portion of the English Premiership season while on Springbok duty this year and it has been revealed that Wasps have taken part of his salary every time he played a Test, which has led to tension between the two parties.

The Bulls hoped to sign the 29-year-old for the 2019 Super Rugby season but high-performance manager Xander Janse van Rensburg told Rapportnewspaper that ‘Wasps will not release Willie from his contract’.

Le Roux has also been linked to a move back to Japan.

The Bulls’ plans to sign Toulouse prop Maks van Dyk were scuppered when he opted to extend his contract with the French club for another year.
