Roets, who stands an imposing 200cm and weighs 135kg, joined the Waratahs squad in training last week after being picked up by the franchise on a one-year deal.
As revealed by RUGBY.com.au last year, Roets’ abrasive play for the Pumas in the Currie Cup caught the eye of Waratahs coach Daryl Gibson, who was searching for a aggressive and line-bending lock to add to his forward pack.
