Scarlets forced to sign local player as yet another scrumhalf gets injured
By Ian Cameron
Scarlets have been forced to 'think outside the box' after another scrumhalf has been injured while the side tour South Africa.
The Welsh side have signed scrumhalf Herschal Jantjies on a short-term loan for Saturday’s Guinness PRO14 clash against Cheetahs Rugby.
Jonathan Evans has suffered an ankle injury that is likely to keep him out for action up to six weeks leaving the Scarlets short of scrum half cover for the second of two games in South Africa.
Scarlets had to call on the expertise of former Scarlet Mike Phillips to cover the scrum half berth following an injury to Declan Smith and Aled and Gareth Davies in Wales camp.
Stormers halfback Herschal Jantjies has been signed on a short term loan for Saturday’s clash.
Head Coach Wayne Pivac said; "We’ve had to be creative and think outside the box with our halfbacks on this tour!"

Great to see Aki Tuivailala at the Crusaders. Played well for Waikato and NZ Under 20's. Hamilton Boys High has become a great feeder for the Crusaders . Plenty of great local talent coming through, such outstanding young lock Liam Jack. Nephew of All Black Chris Jack. His Dad Graham was in the NPC winning Canterbury team of 1997 . Locked the scrum with Reuben Thorne. Two of his team mates Dads were in that team too, Todd Blackadder, ( captain) , son is Ethan and Angus Gardiner son is Dominic.
Go to commentsKyle Preston looks the goods. Fit , had great form for Wellington in the NPC. He is going to do well for the Crusaders. Like his last name sake Jon Preston, ( who played for Canterbury and Wellington, same position in the 1990's), he is one of the fittest around. Great he mentions Mitchell Drummond. As he said he is a great mentor and leader in the Crusaders.
