Biography

Ollie le Roux was a big, mobile prop who played 54 Tests between 1994 and 2002, 43 of them off the bench. Born in Fort Beaufort on 10 May 1973 and educated at Grey College, he became one of the youngest props to play for South Africa. He played for the Orange Free State and Natal and later Leinster, and was a crowd favourite for his work rate around the field. He scored a try against Scotland at the 1999 World Cup.
