Willie le Roux Tribute | The Architect of the Springbok backline

Рет қаралды 48,995

Willie le Roux is one of the most underrated players in the world. He does a ton of off-the-ball stuff that seems to always go under the radar. Most Springboks fans have a love hate relationship with him and his style of play. Sometimes he can make silly mistakes but boy when he is on fire, that whole backline of the Springboks switches a gear!
He's a special player and was a massive part in the world cup win for the Springboks. He showed his pedigree again in the Springboks vs Argentina match today where he made the Mapimpi try with his vision.
Thanks to ChyronHego for letting us use their software!

So hyped for this video thank you for doing this one! This really shows the massive amount of work he does from the back. Dare I say he may be the hardest working fullback currently out there.

@tasanalytics 2 жыл бұрын

My pleasure! Glad you liked it! Yeah he really does a lot of stuff that we sometimes can't see on the broadcast view. But I love the wide shots when you can see his movement or like his hand signals. He also gets everone at the right position in attack. Haha sometimes he will make the silly mistake. But I think it's safe to say what he provides for the team outweighs the one or 2 silly mistake

The architects of the Bok backline are Faf de Klerk and Willie le Roux. Until either or both break out of the kick and chase stuff nothing happens at the back

@peterdawson3428 2 жыл бұрын

A very good player,many people don't see his quality.his ability to draw opposition players so that he can send a teammate through for a try is what makes him dangerous.its not just about throwing a pass it's when you throw the pass that counts.
