PlanetRugby: “Hotheaded” Springboks forward chastised following risky clear-out

Following his yellow card during Friday night’s United Rugby Championship (URC) match against Glasgow Warriors, Springboks forward Evan Roos has drawn criticism.
Referee Chris Busby sent the highly regarded Stormers back-rower to the sin bin in the 38th minute of play after he dumped Matt Fagerson of Glasgow following a ruck.
The Stormers entered the game fresh off back-to-back wins in the new campaign, but they would lose for the first time as Glasgow won 20–9.
Roos’s card in yellow
Glasgow led 15–6 at the time Roos was sent out. Shortly after Roos received his yellow card, hooker Johnny Matthews scored, and Joseph Dweba also went to the bin.
At the ruck, Roos and Fagerson are seen squabbling. Even though the ball has already moved away, the Stormers player keeps driving Fagerson, lifting him off his feet, and throwing him to the ground.
On the social networking site X, formerly known as Twitter, he has received harsh criticism for his conduct, with many criticizing his impetuous choices.
As it is. Will Roos act in such a rash and foolish manner ever again? That will have to wait and see. However, AP Cronje commented on X, citing Jasper Wiese’s dismal discipline history from previous seasons, “If only there was an example of a successful Springbok no. 8 who was reckless and struggled with discipline in his first few seasons.”
“Having said that, there really needs to be a line in the sand on this,” he continued. Although he has a lot of passion, he must learn to control it because rival players would try to provoke him. It matters more how he reacts than what has occurred thus far. Additionally, Progressive Rugby chastised Roos for his previous actions.
“Roos shouldn’t be doing this. It’s foolish, irresponsible, meaningless, and possibly quite harmful. Needs to learn from the example of Jasper Wiese, who was a liability before altering his behavior and is still a terrifying threat on the field, the post stated.
