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!"

France got a typically french 14 point try last week and they'll need to look for chances for another couple to be comfortable in the win against Argentina.
Fiji could actually be the ones for upset of the week. Typically clunky with players always in and out of their team this would be about the time they put another England beating performance in against Ireland.
SA to be as strong again this week carrying away from their opposition. Probably an underpar performance though.
New Zealand will be determined to actually put the triple figure score on the Azzurri this time. In actual fact a tired and physically beaten AB side has been chosen for this one so expect to see some space and free flowing rugby from both teams but still nothing more than a 30 point gap between them.
Aussie will be thwarted by a draw in their Slam attempt, otherwise another 1 point game either way.
Lets hope Japan is selecting more of its stop starters like France's Tavita Tatafu's cousin, Tavita Tatafu, otherwise it could be the biggest scoreline game of the weekend.
