Blue Bulls send Roux on leave

The Blue Bulls Company has decided to grant Bees Roux some leave until further notice and to exempt him from his rugby obligations for the time being.
The executive officer of the BBC, Barend van Graan, said it is essential to grant Roux immediate leave after the incidents of the last couple of days.
"He has been through some tough times in recent days and we feel it is appropriate to give him some time to recover from this," Van Graan said.
On Monday Roux was granted R100,000 bail by the Pretoria District Court, after he allegedly beat a metro policeman to death.
He intended pleading not guilty to charges of murder and driving under the influence of alcohol, the court heard. The matter was postponed to October 15.
