Roos, Libbok set to turn out for Boks?

Evan Roos and Manie Libbok were both left out of the South Africa A side as the DHL Stormers duo are training with the Springboks ahead of the Test against France on Saturday.Against expectations, neither Roos nor Libbok were included in the SA A matchday 23 to take on Munster in Cork on Thursday evening.Instead, the duo, along with Stormers teammates Salmaan Moerat and Marvin Orie, have been retained in the Springbok squad and could feature in Saturday’s Test in Marseille.

“We have injuries with our main team at the Springboks,” coach Mzwandile Stick told the media on Monday. “Lood de Jager is out for this week. Jasper Wiese is going through concussion protocols. We are not sure if he is going to be ready this week. “Sacha last week picked up a bit of a knock in the training sessions. It’s not a case of him being injured. It’s just on the Springbok side they wanted to spend more time with him to make sure he is prepared so if there is an opportunity, then he will be able to play.

“I am excited for Jean-Luc and Dan, we know what they have done in the past. They have been superb for Sale Sharks. They have always tried to put their hands up for the Springboks. I am excited to work with them.”
