Stormers No.8 Evan Roos has won the United Rugby Championship Player of the Season Award, his fourth URC award of what has been a dream season for the 22-year-old.

It was a cateogory that was completely dominated by South African players. Roos defeated the challenges from the Vodacom Bulls skipper Marcell Coetzee, his teammate Ruan Nortje, Lukhanyo Am of the Sharks, Lions back row Vincent Tshituka and Stormers back Warrick Gelant.

A media poll, nominations from the coaching staffs of the Springboks and the four competing franchises, and ultimately a fan vote through Vodacom’s digital platforms determined the six finalists.

Together with his DHL Stormers teammates, Roos celebrated their first victory in an international tournament last weekend. Roos picked up four awards in total, including Breakthrough Player of the Season, Players’ Player of the Season and Fan Player of the Season.

“We are delighted for Evan and this award is well deserved given his form and consistency throughout the competition,” said Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber. “The fact that he received this honour in a competition featuring some of the best players in the northern hemisphere also shows the depth and quality of players we have in South Africa and especially young players.”

Roos is now set to win his first Test cap, with the No.8 a shoe-in to feature against Wales with Duane Vermuelen recovering from knee surgery.

I enrolled in an online professional certification program for program development, which I believed would enhance my career prospects. After researching the program thoroughly, I paid a  fee of $7,300 USD, confident that the certification would be a legitimate asset to my resume. However, after completing the course and attempting to use the credentials in my job search, I quickly realized that the certification was nothing more than a scam. The company behind the program had falsified its credentials and provided no actual value. They offered a polished website, convincing sales pitches, and promises of job opportunities, but once I began digging deeper, I found numerous complaints online from others who had been scammed in the same way. Unfortunately, the organization was not just unprofessional, but fraudulent, offering no real support or resources to help with career advancement, leaving me feeling deceived and frustrated. Desperate to recover my hard-earned money, I began researching ways to hold the company accountable and retrieve my funds. It was then that I came across Digital Tech Guard Recovery, a team that specializes in tracing fraudulent organizations and helping victims reclaim their money. After contacting them, I was relieved to find a team of dedicated professionals who understood the intricacies of recovering funds from such scams. They meticulously traced the fraudulent organization and its activities, gathering the necessary evidence to build a strong case. Within weeks, Digital Tech Guard Recovery was able to successfully recover my $7,300 USD. The entire process was seamless, and I was kept informed every step of the way. Their expertise and attention to detail were invaluable in navigating the complex world of online fraud and scams. Not only did I get my money back, but I also gained peace of mind, knowing that the scammers were being held accountable for their actions. As a resident of Dallas, I am grateful to have found such a reliable service in a time of need. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Their commitment to helping victims of fraud are unmatched, and they offer a sense of security in the face of what could otherwise be a daunting experience.
