Le Roux may leave Leinster

Leinster tight-head Ollie Le Roux could return to South Africa to become The Cheetahs' forwards coach under the auspices of former team-mate Naka Drotski.

Le Roux has been a sensation for Leinster on and off the field. He is a strong candidate for Player of the Season. His contract ends in May.

Le Roux and Drotski were front-row partners both for the Cheetahs and the Springboks in their playing days. The move is not thought to be definite, but negotiations are said to be at an advanced stage, accoriding to reports from South Africa.
