I know I’m going to be roasted for this, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen Evan Roos put together a string of good performances.


I also don’t think he has the grunt to make it as a great loosie, whether it be at 8 or 7.


Hes more in the mould of a Pierre Spies who enjoyed roaming and playing in to space, but we don’t need that for the Boks.


wiese

Duane

Danie Rossouw


those are the players I want to see at 8 for the Boks.


not Kanko, Spies or Roos

Chips...he was POTY in his first season...struggled with injuries the last 2 seasons...hopefully back for a proper run now.

Fuck me Chip what rugby you been watching


This highlights video shows just how good Roos is. He has it all - pace, power and skill. A gem of a player

Chip, your opinion isn't unpopular at all.


And even if it is, it's accurate.


Roos won't ever dislodge Wiese from 8. And that's before we talk about Horn and Hannekom who have both been better than him.


I honestly believe Roos should play at 12.

@Dave - I just dont see him being consistent.

Yes, he has a wonderful highlights reel, but that's all it is... a highlights reel.


Anyway... im not saying he isnt a decent player, but he lacks the grunt that a look for in an 8th man.

Well Chip that highlights reel is better than any other forwards highlights reel out there which says it all


The reel also shows that Roos has plenty of grunt


You don’t sit Vermeulen on his arse lacking grunt


You are 100% incorrect about Roos - he is a class act


He has so much more to add than the dumb muscle of Wiese

His talents is best served at 6….from the back of the scrum you need real horse power to continuously break that first line of defence.


Hanekom is better suited than Roos for the 8th man spot. My opinion he is slightly better than Roos in breaking tackle,s.


Wiese is covering that spot very well and it will take some doing to dislodge him.

Dave is an old fat short man….who once hilariously called himself Big Dave. But he is a tough guy on this Board….he has virtually threatened many posters and never lost a fight.

Thank fuck I’m not 77 years of age


You can lie as much as you like about my height or weight but there is no escaping being 77 years old you poor fucking wanker


At 77 you are basically fucked, at that age you are beyond threatening - there is just no point - it would be no different to me threatening a 5 year old


Tick tock tick tock

Moffie is only 77 years old in body.


He has the emotional maturity of a 5 year old.

Ah Wantwit, you are now 8 years older than when first your only defensive weapon was attacking my age. Which of course seems pretty stupid because every human eventually gets there unless something worse happens. Has nobody told you that?

Fuck me 8 years on - you were at the summit then - where the fuck are you now huh?


Is your old age the reason you are so anti everything or is it the age that leaves the mind clutching at straws


Do you wear a bib at lunchtime?


Nappies yet? A dummy might just be a blessing to SA rugby?

How about concentrating first and Utmost on respecting each other, huh??!!


Moz is a respectful human being and for this clown to mock him about his age is sacrilege!!


Shame on you David Searle you hypocritical piece of shit!


Exactly that is why no one wants to join and people would rather view…..Honestly who can blame them with this abstract Lunatic around…..
