Evan Roos Tribute | A Springbok In The Making

[@etiennevanwyk3208]

Speed and bulk and energy. All good.

[@gerhardolivier6285]

Good video. Hope he and Elrigh Louw get a shot with the Boks this year. Jasper is not the answer at 8 and we need a proper blindside back-up for PSDT.

[@yourmomskitchen3236]

I agree, Jasper is overrated.

[@THEMRblackboy7thst]

@@yourmomskitchen3236 why do you think so?

[@saffaadventures365]

People under rate wiese immensely. He must just keep his cool, that's bus biggest problem. He is a tough as nails.

[@jacqloock]

Wiese removes a lineout option at 8. Don’t think I’ve seen him actually pass. Linking play non-existent. These are not the traits of a world-class 8.

[@saffaadventures365]

@@jacqloock I disagree. Have you watched any of his games for Leicester. He passes, off loads and SMASHES the opponent. Something young duane was very good at and he's still really solid. Why do you think the springbok selectors would choose him out of everyone?

[@johanroodt2371]

Should have been an apprentice on the year end tour. Was a monster at school, so glad he had a great first season back at Province.

[@jandregerber7534]

This guy is a beast!

[@pjpomare3598]

Always loved South African no.8s they're always solid ball runners. Spies to Vermulan to Roos and even before spies they were always producing solid 8s

[@lwazimace2508]

He would certainly add explosiveness to the springbok counterattack. Next I'd love to see his lineout and breakdown skills.

[@awvanrooyen4940]

New blood surfacing. Evan is agile, strong, with a step or two! Love it. Plenty of replacement boks coming through. Go young ones!

[@georgekoen7414]

After 53 years of watching rugby, he has to be just about the most mobile number 8 in years if not ever.

[@meeshnozigqwaba8972]

Pierre Spies: hold my beer

[@theultimatesharpshooter6734]

I would love to see hin get a chance this year even if it is against Argentina or something. Jasper has the goods but my word he can do some stupid things on the pitch sometimes

[@lindumusamkhabela575]

Evan Roos already the most dangerous 8th in SA history for me😂🤞, and he's only getting started, only 22 this year and he's done way too much already

[@yourmomskitchen3236]

Not most dangerous yet, but well on his way.

[@lindumusamkhabela575]

@@yourmomskitchen3236 he solidified his danger threat since Paarl boys, him and Sharks' Celimpilo Gumede who both played SA schools together, best 8 mans in the world most definitely

[@yourmomskitchen3236]

@@lindumusamkhabela575 I know, I played against him in matric and Grade 11. Lmao, they are at best the top Juniors at #8. Not the best 8's in the world. 😂 It's very ignorant to say they're the best in the world, because they aren't. If you believe that, you still have a lot to learn. Roos even complained about how tired he was during the B&I Lions game and couldn't believe the physicality. He still has a long way to go. Jasper Wiese, who isn't even the best, is miles ahead of Evan Roos and Gumede. And don't get me started on van Staden, Louw and Coetzee. 😂 And that's just Saffas, Watson from Scotland, Faletau from Wales, Blackadder who can play 8 and Savea from NZ... The list goes on. Evan Roos is great, but he isn't the best. 😂 Don't be dense.

[@lindumusamkhabela575]

@@yourmomskitchen3236 we shall see come 2023 world cup to see if Roos isn't the best, thing is I see what's to come, the same Wiesie who couldn't get much game time for Boks, Roos is only 22 this year and look at what he has done, imagine him at 25, Gumede same thing, and you can attest from his last performance for Sharks, they just both way too ahead of their time in my opinion for the number 8 position

[@yourmomskitchen3236]

@@lindumusamkhabela575 I didnt say the 2 of them are bad, both of them are BEASTS. I agree with you there, but they aren't the best 8's in the world. They're still inexperienced and ... if I can say it, unfit? Based on the Lions game and what Roos said. But yes, in a few years they'll be amazing (maybe even the best) and Roos will replace Wiese.

[@ggunzwebmarketing]

Youg and good the futur is bright for SA from 🇫🇷

[@DrewzaGaming]

Great video! Please do Vincent Tshituka next!

[@CaptBadLad]

Hopefully this young monster can continue making an impact in the URC....with higher honors waiting on the horizon

[@makeperceive]

The Boks have to give him and Louw a chance. I'm a massive Thor fan but time goes on and he can't play forever. There's some hardcore depth at 8, very nice.

[@keithfincham8437]

What a step he has. Enjoy how he doesn't always look to make contact.

[@johanroodt2371]

An uncapped XV 6. Vincent Tshituka/ Nama Xaba 7. Elrigh Louw 8. Roos / muller Uys

[@inamndamane4740]

No way Uys ahead of Buthelezi

[@quickissme]

Jesus this guy's a beast

[@jacquie212]

That ability to shift the point of contact and accelerate is phenomenal... and then the pace. Don't get any URC here, so interested to see his enforcer ability.. He seems to play a linkman type role, which I like, but is not really in the preferred Bok style for an 8. Exciting nonetheless

[@ironblack3759]

Absolute Beast

[@harryocallaghan8082]

The South African backrowers are up against some big Irish backrowers Jack Conan, Caelan Doris, Josh Van Der Flier, Peter O’Mahony, Gavin Coombes, Nick Timoney, Max Deegan. But two to look out for are Gavin Coombes & Cian Prendergast. Very similar players to Evan Roos.

[@crucesignatidlr]

The South African Ardie Savea

[@proudsaffa2357]

Up and coming Bok enforcer.

[@christophdykman9364]

Imagine him and Jan Hendrik wessels wreaking havoc in green and gold

[@juanpablocirielli1540]

Amazing player, next one buthelezi or elright louw pliss

[@Mimeniia]

That Jayden tackle attempt was classic, one Capey on another. I hope they don't bolt.

[@lwazimace2508]

I was also noting the poor tackle technique from Jayden

[@privatebaldric8767]

To be fair, I think he was just trying his best not to be trampled😄

[@lindumusamkhabela575]

Could you please do a video on Celimpilo Gumede, my 2nd best pick after Roos for Springboks future number 8, not as powerful as Roos but just as dangerous, healthy competition since SA schools

[@simonmulder8797]

Excellent rugby. This oke is 'busy'.

[@xoladinhoaltice9122]

Deon Fourie extended tribute please thanks.

[@elduderino3236]

Can't believe he's not in the alignment camp right now. Ridiculous. I guess we're going to play Vermeulen until he's in his mid forties.

[@ennisventer8038]

At last, a new Thor!!.

[@Davidvx1468]

looks like we found the next Pierre spies

[@notw22]

I think I found my new fav player and the obvious successor to Duane!

[@harryocallaghan8082]

A backrow of 6.Elrigh Louw 7.Evan Roos 8.Duane Vermuelan would be beastly! With Kolisi, Wiese, Tshiunza to fight out the bench spot.

[@bottomeyeview2767]

No bud, that’s a thrashing all day

[@president6645]

What about PSDT ? Have you forgotten this legend of a player?

[@lukejkw]

The next Reid

[@lindumusamkhabela575]

Him and Celimpilo Gumede are the best 8s we have in future

[@inamndamane4740]

And Gumede is coming through personally I think Gumede more talented and I am basing this from Their school days, Gumede 2 years SA school and roos 1...in their final year it was Gumede who played all games at 8 for SA school and roos not that much..after school Gumede made sa under 20 and roos didn't, I believe that Gumede just needs his chance and you will see

[@jksinorbit]

Explosive pAce but it wont last long, hes big and will get slower they need to use him now while hes still got it. Duane is a legend but he should be the backup 8 now.

[@tertiusgous8348]

Him and Etzebeth iin the same team!? Oh shit!

[@zenzelemjwara7066]

Thor can hand over the the number 8 , This is a beast straight up , bounce is a definite , body hurting is a must. Lol this guy going to hurt a couple of people and maybe end careers its to much

[@fantasticcharisma6724]

Very tight competition for no8 but His close

[@quintongovender6125]

Got to fit jean luc in that loose forward trio

[@notw22]

Best running 8 since spies maybe, whitely

[@stephanlombard7247]

He is like the new Danie Russow

[@VECGOCC]

Duane is and will be Duane, but this guy will be great. New Thor.

[@notyoureverydaycultist2579]

Evan Roos should be the next no.8. Move Jasper to Flank Put Gelant on 15

[@mamoersebaas2654]

Look at the physique it's all natural nothing like the big upper body and thin legs.no hormone growth or these iron junkies.all these European forwards especially curry and Underhill ,damn those muscles don't look right

[@dalenewton9697]

That's underhill's natural shape. Broad shoulders and back. Short, stocky legs. Curry put on about 8 kilos since turning pro and does look more 'unnatural' though.

[@moegamadadams1156]

His too exiting to b a bok, doesn't fit nienaber koppe stump defensive pattern... Roos is a baller, he can't play in a box.. At province his got freedom to express himself, the boks dnt allow that

[@sbok9481]

Then you hear Eddie Jones..."SA will not be a factor in 2023 World Cup. Today's players will be too old by then." His young squad will win it! Eddie will never learn when it comes to the Boks.

[@erichdykman5772]

What he forgets is that these boys get trained like profesionals at school so by the time they reach union they already set for it

[@president6645]

Don't take anything Eddie has to say seriously. He s always playing mind games. Also he is yet to win a world cup remember.

[@dalenewton9697]

I think you need to check your sources, or stop making shit up. Eddy Jones has never said that. He has talked a little about the age profile though.
