When one thinks about planning for the World Cup next year, the ideal is to have a group of experienced players in your squad. It&#8217;s only natural then to want to have Jasper gathering more caps.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is an opportunity for him to do so.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nienaber also echoed the sentiments of Wiese&#8217;s Leicester coaches in highlighting that the man from Upington has really knuckled down in improving in the areas he&#8217;s been advised to.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jasper&#8217;s been awesome. We do &#8216;roadmaps&#8217; or performance analysis on players in our squad in detail. The players get reports once a month or whenever there&#8217;s a gap to have a chat.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s been performing quite well for Leicester and, importantly, in the areas that we want him to perform in.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s not a finished product, but many of our players aren&#8217;t yet. Many of them are long-term projects.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Where does that leave Roos?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Evan is such a talented player. I&#8217;ve only seen him play at No 8, but honestly, if we pick him at No 7, he&#8217;ll play well at No 7. If we pick him at lock, he&#8217;ll play well at lock. He&#8217;s a player with such a good skill set,&#8221; said Nienaber.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wherever there&#8217;s an opportunity, I&#8217;m pretty sure he&#8217;d take the opportunity with both hands. No matter where it is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nienaber also believes the 22-year-old would benefit from merely being a squad member.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The things we want guys like Evan and co to achieve is not necessarily just play Test matches, but having a role and responsibility outside of the Tests, preparing the guys involved in the 23.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are a lot of things we would like to see them handle. That puts them in a good position going into the World Cup.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kickoff is at 17:05.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
