Brumbies announce Dewet Roos signing

Brumbies have announced the inclusion of scrum-half Dewet Roos in their 2017 Super Rugby squad.

“We have been looking at our options in the number nine position since it was confirmed that we would lose Tomas for an extended period of time,” Head coach Stephen Larkham said.

“The signing of Dewet will provide additional competition at scrum half. With two young players in Joe Powell and Ryan Lonergan in that area we felt the need to bring in a more mature option, an older head who can provide some game experience and help the progression of our young talent.”

Most recently Roos was scrum-half for the Australian Barbarians side that provided the opposition for the Brumbies first trial match of the season, the 59-0 success at Viking Park, Erindale.
