Duane Vermeulen to lead the Bulls

Duane Vermeulen will take over as captain of the Bulls after the Pretoria side announced his appointment on Tuesday.

The 34-year-old World Cup-wining Vermeulen‚ who said recently he was the target of a blackmail plot by hackers‚ will be assisted by flank Arno Botha and wing Gio Aplon as deputies. “It is always a privilege to play a game of rugby, and it is one I never take for granted‚” said Vermeulen. “It’s a massive honour to be appointed captain of this group‚ especially at this exciting time when so much is expected from us. A huge thank you must go to Jake [White] and the management team for trusting me with this immense privilege.

Vermeulen’s vast experience in southern and northern hemisphere rugby helped persuade White to award Vermeulen the armband. The appointments of Botha and Aplon as deputies were based on similar considerations.
