Duane Vermeulen's assessment of Evan Roos is instructive: the talent has never been in question, but the gap between URC dominance and Test effectiveness is real, and the Bok coaching staff have been working to close it. Vermeulen points to the 'soft skills' work with Tony Brown — decision-making, precision, the details that separate franchise form from international durability — as the key developmental focus, while acknowledging that Jasper Wiese's physicality over the gainline sets a high bar for the No. 8 jersey. With Roos getting his shot against Scotland this weekend, Vermeulen's message is clear: the programme has done its part, now it's on Roos to produce.
