Stormers standout and Springboks prospect Evan Roos has been awarded a top United Rugby Championship award for players under the age of 23.

Roos has been handed the ‘Next Gen Star’ award after an outstanding season for the Capetonians.

The back row proved a destructive ball carrier with more successful carries (126) and defenders beaten (49) than any other player in the competition over the 18 rounds. His performances this term have seen growing calls for him to be given a chance to shine in the Springbok jersey.

A surprise omission from the initial Springboks alignment camp earlier this year, Roos has done his talking on the pitch.

“Well done Evan Roos, that’s how you react to disappointment and make sure you can’t be ignored!” South Africa director of rugby Rassie Erasmus tweeted after his team’s Round 16 victory over Glasgow Warriors, in which Roos had a match-high 10 successful carries, beat five defenders, and scored a late try.

Roos, who extended his regular-season success into the play-offs by turning in a URC Man of the Match performance against Edinburgh Rugby in the Final Eight, appears to be destined for Test honours.

“It is a huge honour to get this award, I am so grateful to everyone who has supported me this season. My family is a great source of strength and pride for me and everyone involved in the DHL Stormers set-up has been amazing as well. I am so proud to play for this team and our incredible fans every week.”

Roos, along with four other DHL Stormers teammates, was chosen to the URC Dream Team earlier this week.

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.
