Is this Duane Vermeulen the same Duane Vermeulen who used to hang about the pitch while others were playing rugby in Ravers. He seems to be twice the player that the other one was.
That's harsh. He can still do a good job focusing on his strengths when surrounded by good players but at his age can't carry a team himself. The quality wasn't around him at ulster. He did a lot of good stuff but he's in his mid 30's.

Both he and Piutau did a lot of good stuff when at ulster but levels will inevitably drop if surrounded by mediocrity. The likes of Pienaar and Muller were surrounded by much better players.

And Shannon Frizell lights up the World Cup. New Zealand are lucky not to be sponsored by BOI or Guinness.

As much you're not meant to like England doing well, the rassie meltdown is amusing.

His scrum pens basically won the qf and sf. Completely turned the tide in the Boks favour.

Think the last one Vincent Koch won was maybe harsh on England

WLR covers the backs for the Saffers in the final.

In other news, Bundee is up against Eben, Antoine and Ardie for Top Shagger, I mean World Player of the Year.
