Having played most of his formative rugby in the Cape, Sharks fullback Willie le Roux should have an idea of how to handle wet conditions. But Durban's kind of wet, generated by humidity, is far removed from the kind of wet seen in Stellenbosch from those notoriously violent Cape storms. The shock of having to deal with a wet ball in summer is something he still needs to adapt to.Le Roux said: "I must be honest, it was really difficult on Saturday night playing with the wet ball. There were a few knock-ons and the ball was really difficult to handle."The nice part was that it wasn't cold and the evening warmth here is something one can get used to very easily. Trying to throw the ball around is not the easiest thing but I'll get used to it."With the Sharks losing Pat Lambie to a mid-term shoulder injury, the creative burden rests on Le Roux's 26-year-old shoulders. He seems to be fine with being the creative point- man despite being the last line of defence.He said: "I think the coaches back me because I don't think they would have if they didn't give me the licence to play from the back. They leave it in my hands and if I can see space, I can attack or make more use of the ball. Most of the times I just stick to the game structure and back our defence. When it's turnover ball, then it's time to play."That said, defence is a bigger priority at the Sharks than it was at the Cheetahs and that makes Le Roux breathe far more easily, what with the Stormers' backs containing threats like Cheslin Kolbe and Leolin Zas.He said: "They call Tuesdays here 'Test match Tuesday' and we're going to tackle each other hard. I wasn't here for pre-season but I could see the guys worked very hard. They showed it in France and in the first two games. It was unlucky that we conceded those two tries from turnovers but we've defended well so far."..
