Not being good enough? For South Africa? Hahahahaha.
Like most white South Africans who leave South Africa, they do so because they're over it. It would well and truly be a last resort for him I'm sure.
Well he would not be good enough for SA and also white SA's leave because they have more than half a brain.
Didn't realise you were such an expert on South African football Leggy.
South Africa are crap.

Atm he should focus on playing consistently for CCM, as its his first season of 1st team football. But he has made a pretty good start to it.
Didn't realise you were such an expert on South African football, race politics, and cultural dynamics Leggy.
Apparently Storm Roux has been selected for the November qualifiers (according to the FFA). But when this squad will actually be made public I don't know. Is it too late though? Surely he should have been on the current US Tour. A debut against Mexico in such a crucial match seems so remote.

I'm not but I played there for 3 seasons so I do know a little about the place.

So Roux and Tuiloma will be there come November.

Atleast that brings us a little closer to getting rid of Bertos and Lochead.
More on Roux's AW's call-up from the Aussie papers with quotes from Storm (Wednes.16):
HE'S played just 116 minutes of A-League football and now Storm Roux has been rushed into New Zealand's squad for their crunch World Cup qualifier against Mexico.
The 20-year-old defender made his debut for Central Coast Mariners against Western Sydney on Saturday and played the full 90 minutes.
Roux's only other A-League appearance was off the bench for Perth last season.
Mariners coach Graham Arnold was so impressed with the young right back that he thought his performance against the Wanderers was worthy of the Man of the Match award.
Roux was also pleased with his first game and is excited he caught the eye of the All Whites.
"I've just been called up into the next qualifying game for New Zealand, so hopefully if I do well in the training then I can make my debut for them," Roux said.
"It will be home and away (against Mexico) and it will be a massive crowd because it's such an important game. Playing against word class opposition is only good for you and the chance of maybe playing in that game is exciting."
Roux was born in South Africa, but moved to New Zealand when he was just three-years-old. He also holds Australian citizenship because his family then relocated to Perth when he was 14.
"I didn't hear anything from South Africa and there was a bit of interest from Australia, but at that time when I had interest from Australia I didn't have my citizenship yet," Roux said.
"I got the opportunity to go with New Zealand and be part of the Under-20 squad and I took that opportunity and that's how I ended up playing for New Zealand."
So it seems the squad has already been decided on but not announced publically then....

I would imagine most of the squad has been decided. Finalised by form/injuries closer to the game.

A team of characters from the franchise’s Original Trilogy. (Sorry Jedi Sam Jackson and Grand Admiral Thrawn, maybe next time). Since it’s a true movie classic, they’re lined up in a classic 4-4-2.
GK – Darth Vader – Not as mobile as he was in his youth, he’s still an imposing Force in goal.
CB – Chewbacca – More than one opposing manager has admitted to suggesting a new strategy to their teams during the break: Let the Wookie win.
LB – Wedge Antilles – High-flying master of aerial bombardment. His game improved dramatically once he learned to worry about those fighters and let someone else worry about the tower.
CB – Emperor Palpatine – A ball-playing central defender, manipulating the game while staying far from the front lines. We moved him into the back after we couldn’t get his midfield partnership with Yoda to work out.
RB – Obi-Wan Kenobi – Despite his advanced years, he’s still an elegant player, for a more civilized age.
CM – Yoda – Like Xavi and Messi, Yoda’s dominance proves that size matters not when you’ve got Force-aided vision and a telekinetic touch.
LM – Han Solo – Cocky to a fault, but has Dempsey-like timing and a knack for creating chances out of nothing. He’s one bad nerf-herder.
CM – Luke Skywalker – All-action, do everything dynamo. He comes to the rescue on defense one minute and the next is hitting precision shots at a target that’s well more than two-meter’s wide.
RM – Lando Calrissian – Smooth on the ball yet a cunning opportunist when he spies an opening. The fans are still talking about his little maneuver during the match against Taanab.
CF – IG-88 – Joining this team has only given more fuel to those who claim he’s a heartless mercenary, but his towering frame and lethal arsenal in front of goal make him worth the price.
CF – Boba Fett – Gerd Muller with a jet pack. He can and will do anything to get the goal.
It's a classic big man, badass strike partnership - Rory Fallon stylee... |

I'm stoked he's an All White and not a Socceroux.
I'll get me coat...

All Whites defender Storm Roux has been named as the December nominee for Football Federation Australia's young player of the season award.
The 21-year-old played five matches for the Central Coast Mariners during the month and scored his maiden A-League goal in the Mariners' round six match against the Wellington Phoenix.
Fellow Mariners player Trent Sainsbury and Newcastle Jets striker Adam Taggart are the other players nominated for the award so far this season.
In this saeson Storm play 22 games and 2 more times seat in banch. Score 1 gol and take 1 yellow card. He also play 4 time in Asian Champions League.
Did NZF ask for an exemption for him? I think he's the best RB the AW have, if not the only one
looks really good going forward, not that flash going back however from what I've seen
Full game against Sydney FC.
Eligible again thank Jesus and a goal on the w/e not who you want it against tho. Also has 2 assists and 10 shot assists behind only Mitch Austin so he has been getting up the flank a bit good to have Ferriera in front of him I think. Look forward to him being in a white Jersey again and maybe give Fenton a more attacking role
Poor guy, fractured fibula and ligament disruption that will require surgery today in Sydney. Also has a dislocated shoulder from the same incident.
