Duane Vermeulen nailed his colours to the mast when he showed up at the Vodacom Bulls captain’s run on Friday to help them plot the demise of the Stormers in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship final.Vermeulen represented the Stormers in the 2010 Super Rugby final and represented the team 89 times between 2009 and 2015, but the Springbok No 8 revealed his allegiance to the Bulls, who he played for between 2019 and 2021, in the build-up to the URC final.
“Duane Vermeulen is coming to have lunch with me,” said the Bulls director of rugby said on Friday. “He will join us at the captain’s run this afternoon. We will chat a bit about what happened at the lineouts and mauls and what the plan would be here.One of the major challenges facing the Bulls in Saturday’s grand final in Cape Town is the home side’s Springbok-laden pack.
“Historically, out of the last 80 scrums on that field, there have been 23 resets against different opposition,” said White. “You can’t therefore say that one team is illegally scrumming or the other team. Out of 80 scrums, there have been 23 collapses, something is not right.
