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!"

A great game. The Sharks without Etsebeth are a shadow of the team compared to when he plays. The limitations of Some of the expensive Sharks players are being exposed. Credit to Clermont for some exhilaration play at times.
