Duane Vermeulen finally hung up his rugby boots. He will be remembered as one of the greatest Springboks of the modern era and one of the greatest number 8's to ever play the game.
His tough, uncompromising style of play made him indispensable for the Springboks. He was man of the match in the 2019 Rugby World Cup final and he backed that up with a second Rugby World Cup win in 2023.
He was known for his strong carries, his brutal defense and his absolute calmness under pressure. In big matches, you wanted Duane on you side.
As a South African, I can only say thank you Duane. Thank you for your service and thank you for all the awesome memories.
Enjoy and thanks for watching!

Seeing this makes me realize what great chemistry Vermeulen and Du Preez had at the Springboks.

Incredible tribute to an incredible player. SA's finest number 8. Going to be hard to replace.

A video posted, it's going to be a good day. Will Diesel Duane go down as the best Bok 8 since re admission? What a legend. Most of us moan about aches or pains at his age, and he smashes forwards for fun.

No, that was not the intent my friend, appreciate the work!

He's definitely the best 8 we've had in my lifetime. Gary Teichmann was awesome as well but no one had the ability to boss a game like he does.

Have certainly missed such high quality posts from Real Rugby. I knew DV was excellent in the tight stuff, but wow he had a sharp turn of pace to complete the No. 8 package. Tremendous player!!!
