Stormers No.8 Evan Roos has come out on top for the United Rugby Championship Player of the Season Award, his fourth URC grant of what has been a fantastic season for the 22-year-old.
It was a category that was overwhelmed by South African players. Roos crushed the difficulties from the Vodacom Bulls captain Marcell Coetzee, his colleague Ruan Nortje, Lukhanyo Am of the Sharks, Lions back column Vincent Tshituka, and Stormers back Warrick Gelant.
A media survey, designations from the training staffs of the Springboks and the four contending establishments, and eventually a fan vote through Vodacom's computerized stages decided the six finalists.
Roos commended their most memorable triumph in a worldwide competition at the end of the week, along with his DHL Stormers colleagues. Roos got four honors altogether, including Breakthrough Player of the Season, Players' Player of the Season, and Fan Player of the Season.
"We are more than happy for Evan, and this grant is merited given his structure and consistency all through the opposition," said Springbok mentor Jacques Nienaber. "The way that he got this distinction in a rivalry highlighting probably the best players in the northern side of the equator likewise shows the profundity and nature of players we have in South Africa, particularly youthful players."
Roos is currently set to win his most memorable Test cap, with the No.8 a shoo-in to highlight against Wales with Duane Vermuelen recuperating from a knee medical procedure.
