Bloemfontein -  Springbok and Toyota Cheetahs fullback, Willie le Roux, is enjoying his new role in the side as vice-captain.
 
The exciting backline player who is equally comfortable on the wing, assumed the leadership role following Francois Venter's shoulder injury which side-lined him for 3 months.
