LE ROUX REBUFFS MARKGRAAFF

FORMER Springbok flyhalf and centre Hennie le Roux says he will not be available to play for the Cats in their Super-12 campaign. In a move that has probably ensured he will never return to international rugby, Le Roux told Cats coach Andre Markgraaff on Monday that he will only play Currie Cup and Vodacom rugby for the Gauteng Lions this season. Le Roux was given the emergency call-up to the Cats after their dismal performance against the New South Wales Waratahs at the weekend.
