DHL Stormers assistant coach Labeeb Levy said on Tuesday from Treviso in Italy yesterday that Evan Roos’ move to the blindside flank will aid his growth as a player and will make him more marketable.
“Apart from the yellow card and one dropped ball, he had a very good game. His ability to get over the advantage line and just draw in players, he is just so good at that,” Levy said.
“But also his ability post that to get back into the game and have another crack, he is so good at that.
“He played on the flank last weekend, but he must play rugby first, which is as a loose forward, although there are roles per position. I think it is good for his rugby intellect to play various positions, which makes him more "marketable", if I can say that.
“It is like a four lock who can play at five, an inside centre who can play outside, a flyhalf who can play at fullback. It just gives you more rugby IP, which he is gaining now.
“He is our first-choice eight, but he had a good game, from a performance perspective in terms of how many battles he was involved in, we were quite happy with that.
“Ja, he was a bit disappointed with the yellow card, so the players spoke among themselves about it, and it’s something he would look to improve on and not get another one.”
