Former Springbok Thinus Delport says South Africa’s Rugby Championship Test against New Zealand would have a massive blow in the absence of Duane Vermeulen. He has been selected in South Africa’s squad for match against New Zealand but his rib cartilage injury is being treated. Schalk Burger is standby player but according to Delport Vermeulen cannot be easily substituted. Delport said: “He showed outstanding performance throughout this Championship campaign. South Africa has massive concern about Duane Vermeulen and the Springbok management will do everything to get him fit before this game.”
Delport added: “Burger is a big player and he works at great speed but he has not the same physicality as Vermeulen. Willem Alberts and Francois Louw are not present in South Africa squad and absence of Vermeulen will be a great loss. Delport claims that Springbok performance was boosted by outstanding contributions of Vermeulen in last week’s win against Australia. He added: “Heyneke Meyer selected Bismarck Du Plessis instead of Adriaan Strauss because he has great physique and if Vermeulen does not play we will need Du Plessis’ physicality.”
