Evan Roos is one of the most exciting young players in South Africa, but his temperament has been under the spotlight.

It was there for all to see again in his side’s 34-18 win over Edinburgh at Cape Town Stadium.

The Springbok received a yellow card in the 52nd minute for an off-the-ball incident when his team was starting to get momentum in the match.

Roos was spotted using excessive force in a tussle, which resulted in him pinning down an opponent with his arm in the neck area.

Lock Marvin Orie, who was the Stormers’ captain for the match, believes Roos will get more mature in the coming seasons.

“I spoke to him about that [incident],” said Orie.

“We all know what a special player Evan is – he is unbelievably talented. In terms of what he has done last season and so far this season, he is sort of freakish.

“It is clearly a tactic from the opponents to try and get into his head.

“It’s funny because when I was younger, I tried to do the same.

“I think guys do that to try and get him off his game. He will get better with that. He is 22, so he has a bright future.

“He will learn with maturity and we are lucky to have him in our team and not against us

“I’m sure he will sort that out.”

Meanwhile, Stormers head coach John Dobson says his team’s ill-discipline in the match was a result of the pack not working hard enough around the field.

The Capetonians conceded 12 penalties in the match with Manie Libbok also receiving a yellow card for a deliberate knock-on.

Towards the end of the match, replacement prop Sazi Sandi received a red card for a head-on-head tackle.

“Our discipline was similar to last week [against Connacht],” said Dobson.

“We start giving away those defensive penalties when we are not physical and when we are not fronting up. I think that was the problem.

“With regards to the foul play, it is not good.”

Dobson added: “The thing with rugby is that penalties mean territory and possession. We have been on the wrong end of those stats in two games in a row.”

The Stormers coach said it is becoming the norm to prepare for cards in a game.

“It’s so prevalent in rugby at the moment.

“Every game we are prepping for all the card scenarios.

“I don’t think it is just us by any stretch.

“I am not irritated with my team for the ill-discipline – it’s just our work rate which puts our discipline under pressure.”

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
