MARSEILLE, France : Duane Vermeulen watched South Africa’s defeat to Ireland from the coaching box but will be back on the field in a less familiar flanker role when they play Tonga in a must-win Rugby World Cup Pool B clash in Marseille on Sunday.

He moves from the back of the scrum to the side to bring added physicality to a loose trio that also includes Jasper Wiese and Siya Kolisi against the powerful Tongan pack. "I am looking forward to playing with Jasper, I have never played with him, only a little bit against him.

"It was crazy!" he said with a beaming smile."They give players the opportunity to sit in coaches' meetings and some get the chance to sit in the coaching box to see how they view the game. You also bring a different perspective as a player.
