Rassie Erasmus has added Stormers No.8 Evan Roos to his South Africa squad following an harm to Cameron Hanekom.
The Bulls No.8 was carted from the sector with a hamstring harm following a clearout at a ruck from Springboks captain Siya Kolisi within the second half of the United Rugby Championship semi-final victory over the Sharks at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.

There is no such thing as a official replace on the harm sustained by the 23-year-old, however the preliminary indicators don’t look promising.
Roos’ inclusion now extends the squad to 55 gamers, who will assemble on Sunday in Johannesburg forward of a contest with the Barbarians on the finish of the month in Cape City, and Exams in opposition to Italy and Georgia in July.
The Stormers loose forward, who earned the last of his seven Springboks caps against Portugal nearly a 12 months in the past, was included in Erasmus’ alignment camp in February, however missed Might’s camp.
Whatever the severity of his harm, Hanekom wouldn’t have teamed up with the Springboks this week as he and his Bulls team-mates are making ready for the URC last in opposition to Leinster at Croke Park subsequent 12 months. Likewise, Leinster’s RG Snyman will be a part of the squad at a later date, as will Bathtub’s Thomas du Toit and Leicester Tigers’ Handre Pollard, who will battle for the Gallagher Premiership title subsequent week.
