The Springboks will jet off to Australia for two Tests against the Wallabies without dynamic No 8 Evan Roos.
No 8 Jasper Wiese is ready to cement his place in the Springbok lineup in the face of a rising challenge from Evan Roos and Elrigh Louw.
Evan Roos says his time in the Springbok alignment camp has helped him identify a few key areas to improve on, but he is fully focused on helping the Stormers progress through the Vodacom United Rugby Championship playoffs.
Ospreys flanker Dan Lydiate says Evan Roos has done enough to earn a Springbok call-up ahead of the Boks’ three-Test series against Wales in July.
The Stormers held out against a late flurry from Ulster to claim a crucial victory in their Vodacom United Rugby Championship clash at Cape Town Stadium on Saturday.
Coach Jacques Nienaber has explained why in-form youngsters from South Africa’s Vodacom United Rugby Championship teams missed out on Springbok selection for the November tour squad.
