Hennie le Roux

Born in Grahamstown on 10 July 1967, Hennie le Roux played at the 1986 Craven Week for Eastern Province Schools while at Graeme College. He represented Eastern Province from 1990 and moved to Transvaal in 1992.

Over the next nine seasons he made 153 appearances for the province, then played Super Rugby for the Cats until 2000. He was a flyhalf by trade who could also play centre, and he gave Transvaal's back line its control.

His Springbok debut came against France in Durban on 26 June 1993. He won 27 caps and scored 34 points before his last Test, against Wales in Cardiff in December 1996, and was part of the side that won the 1995 World Cup.

Off the field, he founded the players' union in 1997 and served as its president. The work earned him a contribution to rugby award in 2000.
