Rassie Erasmus is reportedly considering installing Duane Vermeulen as the Springboks’ next defence coach.
While the 36-year-old veteran No 8 is expected to hang up his boots after the 2023 World Cup, Vermeulen may be in line for a player-coach role at the tournament in France, an experiment that may evolve into a permanent post as defence coach.also suggests that Vermeulen’s agent is in talks with the Bulls and the DHL Stormers over the possibility of a club contract on his return to South Africa to prepare for the 2023 World Cup.
Vermeulen’s immediate transition to the coaching ranks, though unprecedented at the Boks, would solve the exit of defence guru Jacques Nienaber to Leinster after the World Cup.
