JOHANNESBURG - Seasoned Springbok loose-forward Duane Vermeulen will captain the Bulls later this year.

Vermeulen basically takes over from centre Burger Odendaal, who was captain of the side earlier this year before Covid-19 hit the world and brought a sudden halt to rugby and sport across the globe. Odendaal has subsequently left the Bulls and joined the Lions in Joburg. Vermeulen has played 54 Tests for South Africa and won over new director of rugby at the Bulls, Jake White.
